A CHILD rapist who forced two young girls at knifepoint to film him sexually attacking them has been warned to expect a very long prison sentence.

Antonio Domingo Baraken, 53, smirked in the dock as a jury at York Crown Court returned its guilty verdict.

He then refused to stand up at the request of Recorder Graham Hyland QC and hurled abuse at the judge before being taken down into the cells.

The court previously heard how Baraken made a nine-year-old and 11-year-old girl strip in his one-bedroom home off Walmgate. He told each in turn to lie on his bed while he got on top of them and sexually assaulted each of them, while the other girl made a video of what was happening.

The older girl told that as he was on top of the younger girl, her friend was crying with a red face and gripping the bed.

The 11-year-old said that he threatened to kill her and her family if she revealed what he had done and if she did not come to his home again.

She also said that Baraken bought her mobile phones and a teddy bear, and came to her home at night, climbed up to her bedroom window and took her back to his home where he showed her the video of him trying to rape the younger girl.

Baraken, of Leicester Way, off Walmgate, York, was found guilty of two charges of raping the older girl, one of attempting to rape the younger girl and one of making the older girl look at an image of a person engaged in sexual activity.

Giving evidence, Baraken denied the older girl’s account of how he had abused the two children and made them video each other.

He denied that he had had any sexual activity with either child, or visited the older child’s house. He claimed he didn’t know where she lived.

He also denied removing a security camera from his house walls and setting it up in his bedroom.

He agreed with the prosecution that he had convictions under a different name for abusing a total of seven children in the West Midlands and Devon.

After hearing the jury’s verdict, the judge told the court that psychiatric reports on Baraken would be prepared before sentencing.

He said: “What I can indicate to you is that without a shadow of a doubt, this defendant is going to prison for a very, very long time.”
