A teenage paedophile viciously raped a girl of 11 while he was on probation for another sex crime.
Opemipo Jaji – who was ‘obsessed with little white girls’ – dragged the girl into a park after she got off a bus from school.
She had tried to run away from him, but he caught up with her before repeatedly raping her over a three-hour period.

Opemipo Jaji is facing a life sentence for attacking an 11-year-old girl
After the attack, the girl told police she tried to escape twice, but Jaji threatened to stab her, saying ‘I am this close to killing you’.
The attack took place 90 minutes after the 18-year-old had been seen by his probation officer.
The trainee chef now faces life in jail after he was found guilty of the November rape at the Old Bailey yesterday.
Serious questions over how the authorities handled Jaji were raised last night after it emerged he was convicted of another sexual assault a year earlier.
In September 2011 he admitted attacking a 12-year-old in the same area of north London. He forced her to strip after grabbing her on her way home from school.
Jaji was sent to a young offenders’ institution for five months, but he was not registered as a sex offender.
Within weeks of his release he was convicted of possessing the most obscene category of images of child abuse after downloading videos of white girls.
He was given an 18-month youth rehabilitation order which required him to be supervised by the probation service.
Jaji told the court: ‘I’m not capable of doing something as despicable and heartless as this’
Jaji was unanimously convicted at the Old Bailey of raping the 11 year-old after the brave youngster gave evidence against him
Jaji attended a meeting with a probation officer as part of his ‘rehabilitation’ on the afternoon he raped the schoolgirl in Enfield, north London.
The apprentice chef was unanimously convicted of raping the 11-year-old and the judge, Mr Justice Singh, will now consider jailing him indefinitely to protect the public
Yesterday the Ministry of Justice ordered two investigations into the handling of Jaji’s case. The police, probation service, social services and other agencies who dealt with the teenager will be required to provide details of their involvement.
CCTV footage showed him watching the girl from the back of a bus as she chatted excitedly with a school friend. He then followed her off the bus as she waved goodbye to her friend and then dragged her into the park.
He denied the offence, forcing the little girl to give evidence at his trial.
She told the jury: ‘He said he was going to let me go but I couldn’t tell anyone or he would stab me. He said “I’m this close to killing you”.’
Jaji also threatened to film the rape and send copies to children at her school and ‘everyone she loved’.
At the trial, the girl’s father revealed his traumatised daughter came home and said: ‘I think I’ve been raped’. ‘As you can imagine, we were devastated by what she had said. I had my arm around her. She was shivering,’ he said.
The girl needed emergency surgery for severe injuries she sustained and was in hospital for two days.
Jaji was arrested two days later by a local Police Community Support Officer who realised that he matched the description given by the victim. Traces of his victim’s blood were found on his bag and trainers.
Jaji had been to a meeting with his probation officer just 90 minutes before the attack

When police raided his home they discovered adverts from parents looking for child-minders and details about apprenticeships in childcare.
Officers also found newspaper clippings about April Jones, the five-year-old girl who went missing from her home in Wales last October. Jaji, of Edmonton, north London, also used Facebook to reel in child victims from all over the world.
On his page, he wrote: ‘Warning. Dangerously sexy person owns this page.’
Yesterday he was accused of pleading not guilty, despite overwhelming evidence against him, so that he could force the girl to relive her ordeal by having to give evidence for his sexual gratification.
Andy Love, MP for Edmonton, said: ‘I’m shocked by the admissions that have come out since the guilty verdict. It’s amazing that this girl had to go through such a brutal and horrific attack when it was clear that this young man had quite a long history of deviant sexual behaviour.
‘Clearly we need a proper investigation into what happened. We need to know what sort of supervision he was under.
‘This young man was going seriously wrong. Why wasn’t that picked up?’
Sentencing is due to take place on June 7. Mr Justice Singh told the Old Bailey that a life sentence was an option.
