A teenager "ruined" a blind woman's life after sexually assaulting and raping her when she asked him for help to get a taxi.
Mikey Hoc carried out the brutal sex attack on the mother in Edinburgh weeks after a court freed him on bail after he appeared facing another rape charge.
Months before the rape of the blind woman he attacked two students at a college in the Lothian area and raped one of them. The other student pulled him off her friend during the sex assault.
A relative of one of the student victims later contacted Hoc and in a pretence told him that if he paid £3000 in instalments the rape would not be reported to police.
The woman told the High Court in Edinburgh : "I knew that if he gives me the money, or even if he thinks about giving me the money, then 100 per cent he did it."
Jurors were shown a bank transaction in which Hoc paid her £100 with the words in Polish "for silliness" added. The money was transferred back days later.
A teenager also came forward to claim that Hoc raped her at a church graveyard in Edinburgh city centre when she was a schoolgirl.
During Hoc's trial he denied raping his three accusers and claimed sex was consensual. But today Hoc, 19, was found guilty of raping them and physically attacking a fourth woman.
The blind woman, aged 49, told the court on May 31 last year she had travelled to the home of an acquaintance in a block of flats in the Moredun area of the city and had a drink.
She told the court that she left feeling "merry" but lost her footing and fell. She got back up but heard voices and two men approached her.
She said one of the men told her his name was John. She said: "I asked them to help me get a taxi."
The woman said the man who introduced himself as John said he would get her a taxi and she took his arm and they walked for about 10 minutes.
She said they had kissed and walked until they arrived at what she thought was a bus stop. "There wasn't much room. When I tried to get past him that's when it all started," she said.
The man told her he was going to bend her over and she told him he would not and he began pushing her top up and then pulled down her trousers and bent her over and began to sexually assault her.
She said: "There was no room at all for me to move. I was pressed up against the glass and the tin."
"I asked him to stop 'please stop, please stop'. I couldn't fight him anymore, he was too strong," she told advocate depute Liam Ewing.
She said the sex attack felt like it lasted for hours and added: "I just wanted him to stop. I said that to him. I begged him to leave me alone."
The woman said at one point during the ordeal she scratched her attacker and he went crazy and "really hurt" her before running away when he was finished.
She told the court: "I actually shouted 'John you beast'." She said she fell down and did not know where she was. She was screaming for help before a woman came to her aid.
Reliving the ordeal at Craigour Green, Edinburgh, the woman said: "I wanted to go home and forget about it, but I couldn't. He has ruined my life. He is evil, evil. He needs to get locked away."
Hoc committed the offence after he was freed on bail at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on March 22 last year after being charged with assaulting one of the students and raping the other.
Hoc had struck before and a teenager came forward and told police that he raped her at the graveyard of St Cuthbert's Church, at Lothian Road, in Edinburgh, in November 2016 when she 15.
She said she used to hang out with other youngsters at Princes Mall, off Princes Street, and met Hoc who she said was Polish, but spoke good English. She said at first she thought he was "a bit of an alky" as he was always drinking.
She said on the night of the attack she walked a drunk friend to a bus stop and met Hoc. Hoc told her she was staying with him and he could do what he wanted.
He grabbed her arm and dragged her down to a wall at the graveyard and began molesting her before raping her. She said: "It was really sore. I started tearing up and crying. I had said 'no' so many times."
The teenager told police that Hoc sexually attacked her a second time the following month at a flat in Ramsay Place, in Portobello, where he was staying at the time.
She said: "I kept telling him I wasn't going to his house. He said I was and said I did not have any choice."
Hoc struck again on March 9 last year when he attacked two student friends after turning up at their college with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
One woman, aged 21, who was raped by Hoc said: "I thought he was pretty drunk. I couldn't really understand what he was saying."
During the attack on her he grabbed her and dragged her onto a bed and covered her mouth with his hand. He earlier told the woman that he wanted her.
She said Hoc had earlier become aggressive with her friend and pushed her down, winding her. He later held a knife to the friend's throat.
The woman who was subjected to a physical attack said: "Before that night I did not think he was capable of hurting anyone. After that night I did not recognise him."
The judge, Lord Kinclaven, deferred sentence on Hoc for the preparation of a background report and a risk assessment. Hoc was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing next month and put on the sex offenders' register.
