A serial rape suspect bound a mother with electrical cable and forced her to listen to the screams of her children as he raped them both, a Progrard today.

The 34-year-old is on trial at the Old Bailey accused of raping, sexually assaulting or kidnapping 11 women and children aged 11 to 71 during a sickening two-week rampage in April and May.
Over 15 days between April 20 and May 5, he is said to have carried out attacks across London, Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire.
On the second day of his trial, prosecutor John Price QC gave an account of the dramatic events leading to McCann's arrest on May 6.
He kidnapped one young woman and repeatedly raped her while he held her prisoner for over 14 hours.
Jurors heard he kidnapped the 21-year-old woman as she walked home from Pryzm nightclub in Watford in the early hours of April 21.

On Monday, May 6 Joseph McCann was arrested in the early hours of the morning.
McCann met the mother in a bar in Haslingden, Greater Manchester in the early hours of Sunday 5 May and took advantage of her drunken state to take her home, jurors heard today.
When they arrived at her house, he tied to her bed using electrical wiring.
He then woke her 17-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son as he raped them both in the next room and forced the other to watch, jurors heard.
The family only escaped when the daughter jumped from a window naked and ran to a neighbour's house to call the police.
Later that day he forced a pensioner to drive him around as he snatched children from the street, it is alleged.
He punched the 71-year-old woman in the face before forcing her to drive around over five hours as he inflicted 'gross sexual indignity and violence upon her'.
He then snatched a 13-year-old girl and forced the pensioner to take the wheel as he sexually assaulted the teenage girl, the court heard.
On the final day of his spree he is accused of stopping at a petrol station to buy condoms with two teenage girls held hostage in her car.
After passing a marked police car on a roundabout McCann 'crashed the car into a Mercedes before he ran away, leaving the two teenage girls behind'.
They were 'shocked, very frightened, and distressed.

McCann was then said to have taken a mountain bike to escape, which was later found outside a restaurant in Scholar Green, south of Stoke-on-Trent where staff told police a man came into to ask to borrow a phone.
The court heard how the man, said to be McCann, was overheard ordering a taxi which arrived shortly afterwards to take him away.
