A POLISH man has been found guilty of repeatedly raping a girl and filming the abuse on his mobile phone.

Wojcieh Karenko, 41, of Blackhorse Road, Walthamstow, carried out sustained abuse on the victim from the age of 12 to 17 until she finally reported him to the police in April.

Karenko, a self-employed plumber, faces years behind bars after being found guilty by a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court yesterday.

He will be sentenced on November 11.

His co-defendant and former girlfriend, Beata Tercjak, 41, who was accused of being involved in the abuse, was cleared of all charges including rape and forcing a child into sexual activity.
