Chilling CCTV shows groom dragging woman into bushes and raping her just hours before marrying Harry Kane’s pregnant cousin — and stalking another who managed to get away
Derry McCann, 28, carried out a terrifying two-hour assault the same day he tied the knot to pregnant Kerry Hogg
THIS is the chilling moment a serial sex beast lurked in the shadows moments before pouncing on his victim - after trying to grab another woman moments earlier.
Derry McCann, 28, carried out a terrifying two-hour assault the same day he tied the knot to pregnant Kerry Hogg, 27, just two years after being freed from prison over a copycat sex attack.
Derry McCann, 28, was jailed for life yesterday for a two-hour attack in which he raped a woman three times in a park in January.
CCTV footage shot hours before he married pregnant Kerry Hogg showed he had tried to snatch another woman.
Snaresbrook crown court heard the video shows him chasing her through Victoria Park in East London before retreating to a hiding place.
He can then be seen dragging his rape victim into bushes just after midnight. She emerges at 2.02am.
It happened at the same spot McCann, of nearby Hackney, had snatched a woman in May 2006.
He had told a friend he was going to kill the woman, then raped her and was jailed for life. He was freed on appeal in December 2015.
He later convinced Kerry and her family he had been framed.
McCann was having a drink with pals and Kerry, cousin of the Spurs and England striker, on January 12 before saying he was going to get a takeaway.
He raped the woman in the park, got a kebab and went home.
He was arrested days after the wedding when police noted similarities between the two attacks.
The couple’s son was born some time between McCann’s arrest and his guilty plea on March 2.
Kerry, who had no idea about the attack, was not in court to see her husband admit rape last month and was too upset to talk after recently giving birth to his son.
McCann was originally jailed for life for rape with a nine-year minimum sentence in 2006 after a judge warned there was a “substantial risk” he would re-offend.
But he was released on licence in December 2015 — and struck again after boozing with his future wife and her parents the night before his wedding in January.
He was once again jailed for life today and ordered to serve a minimum of nine years.
His victim, who thought she would be murdered by McCann, identified him in an ID parade.
She said in a statement read to the court: "I thought that rape was when you get dragged into the bushes and they have sex with you. But this was a long, drawn out psychological game that was being played. And I just never knew what was going to make him angry."
The court had heard how the terrified woman counted to 100 "over and over again" as McCann told her: "Your boyfriend will never want to be with you now".
He also made her describe what was happening as he raped her because he "clearly wanted to feel superior".
Sentencing him to life today at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Judge Martyn Zeidman QC, the honorary recorder of Redbridge, said: "You behaved as a monster.
