Rapper DVS has been sentenced to 23 years for false imprisonment and rape after he kidnapped and tortured a 20-year-old girl for three days.<\/p>\n
Real name Courtney Hutchinson, the 32-year-old will also remain on the sex offenders register for life.<\/p>\n
DVS, pronounced “Devious”, from Brixton in south London, is known for songs such as Hometown.<\/p>\n
And his part as Brownie in 2016 film The Intent, which also featured Krept & Konan and Fekky.<\/p>\n
Some of the victim’s injuries reported by the Metropolitan Police included severe burns from a hot iron, a fractured eye socket, broken nose, dislocated shoulder and a stab wound to the hand.<\/p>\n
Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that during the three days he dragged the victim around the flat by her hair, whipped her repeatedly with a phone charger cable and made her put her hands behind her back while he punched her in the face and throat.<\/p>\n
The grim ordeal was only over for the victim when she managed to flee the flat naked, but not before he raped her and told her she would die.<\/p>\n
Detective Sergeant Jimi Tele, from Newham police, said: “I would like to praise the bravery and determination of the victim of this truly harrowing ordeal.<\/p>\n
“Her resoluteness in coming forward and working with the police in securing the imprisonment of a truly dangerous offender is worthy of the highest recognition.”<\/p>\n
“The level of violence he inflicted was so severe it demonstrated his total disregard for the victim as a human being, subjecting her to levels of callousness and danger that are rarely seen.”<\/p>\n
He also urged for “others who have suffered similar violence, whether at the hands of this offender or another” to contact the police.<\/p>\n
Anyone who may have been a victim, is asked to contact police on 101 or via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.<\/p>\n
