The rapist who committed 'the worst sex crimes in history', convicted today

Pictured in a hooded coat and hat pulled down to disguise his appearance, this is Night Stalker Delroy Grant in a surveillance tape released today by the police who tracked him. Grant was convicted today of being one of the most prolific and depraved sex attackers in British history. The 53-year-old rapist was found guilty of preying on the elderly in a campaign of perverted terror lasting 17 years. As he was convicted, police apologised for missing opportunities to catch the beast earlier after it emerged they had failed to pursue vital lines of inquiry that could have led to Grant being apprehended as long ago as 1999
