A SEX beast has been jailed for raping a teenage girl more than 200 times.

Arlington Pinnock, aged 42, was a trusted family friend who stayed at the girl's home.

Pinnock, of Wadell House, Thames Street, Deptford, was sentenced to 11 years at the Old Bailey on June 15.

He was convicted of indecent assault and four sample charges of rape between 1999 and 2004.

The girl told the court she was raped more than 200 times between the ages of 13 and 16, and came to think it was normal.

When she was 17 she told her mother what was happening, and Pinnock was arrested.

Judge Giles Forrester said: "You abused your position of responsibility and trust.

"These are indeed grave offences."

He refused to agree with defence claims that the victim is coping well.

He said: "She is not sleeping well or eating properly and she has mood swings.

"Only time will tell what the real effect of this will be upon her. But she cannot have emerged unscathed from abuse such as this."
