Harbinder Khatkar has been found guilty of 18 sex attacks - including rape - on seven women in Derby.
Six of the attacks happened in one night in February in the Pear Tree and Normanton areas of the city while another woman was attacked in Sinfin in December 2011.
Khatkar, of Moorside Crescent, Sinfin, was found guilty today at Derby Crown Court.
During the trial the jury heard from the victims in the case.
One of them, a young mother, said she begged Khatkar not to hurt her or her children as he attacked her.
The woman said Khatkar forced his way into her flat at about 9am on February 2, put his hand over her mouth and demanded she take off her clothes as her young daughter was by her side.
She said: "I was just saying all the time, 'take whatever you want from my house and just leave and don't hurt me and my children'."
She told the jury she started shouting but he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall. She then fell to the floor.
She said: "I was on my knees with my back to him and that is when he grabbed me by the mouth, so I couldn't scream."
She said he told her: "Do what I want and, if you will do what I want, I'm not going to hurt you."
Another victim said: "I felt petrified. I didn't know what he was capable of. I actually thought he was going to kill me."
She said she was raped and sexually assaulted in her living room, then forced to lie with her attacker in her own bed – as her children slept.
The third women to give evidence was working as a prostitute at the time of her attack said that while Khatkar raped her he told her he loved her.
She described that he had tried to wrestle her to the ground and she'd had put up "a good fight" but because he was drunk he had lost his footing and they had fallen to the floor.
"I smashed my head on a brick."
She said during the scuffle, her earrings were ripped out and he had bitten her nose.
Then, he sexually assaulted and raped her while blood was seeping from her head, she told the officer.
"While on top of me he was saying 'I've known you for ages," she said.
"After that I got my clothes back on and my head is seeping with blood.
"I've got blood all over my face and web walked out of the park to Normanton Road and he had got his arm around me as if nothing had happened."
