A SERIAL rapist who committed sex attacks against seven women he met through a dating website has been jailed for life.

Father-of-three Jason Lawrance, from Liphook, Hampshire, was also convicted by a jury at Derby Crown Court of sexually assaulting and attempting to rape two further victims.

Sentencing the 50-year-old for attacking all seven women, Judge Gregory Dickinson QC told him: "I am convinced that you are devious, manipulative and highly dangerous to women.

"In my judgment these offences taken together - so many victims, the trail of terror and agony for which you are responsible - mean that the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment for life is fully justified."
