A man who filmed himself as he twice raped a woman at knifepoint has been jailed for a total of six years.
Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court was told detectives discovered 16 terrifying video clips after they found the iPad in Hesam Khosravi's car.
But unemployed Khosravi, 24, repeatedly denied his crime and only admitted the charges on the day before he was due to stand trial. He claimed they had been engaged in 'role-play'.
In the shocking videos, which were shown in court, naked Khosravi was laughing as he raped the distressed and sobbing woman and then repeatedly wave a kitchen knife at her as she covered her face and hid her body behind a pillow.
He was also seen hitting her in the face and repeatedly kicking her before throwing a tea cup, which smashed on the wall next to her head.
Khosravi commented throughout the video and then spoke directly to the camera for ten minutes towards the end.
Judge Adrian Smith, sentencing, told those in court the footage was 'very distressing' and said: "This is the time to leave if anyone does not want to watch the video."
Khosravi, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape at an earlier hearing. He was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for life. The judge ordered that the iPad be destroyed.
The court was told the woman went to the police following the attack, which took place in Trafford in April last year.
Jonathan Dickinson, prosecuting, said Iranian-born Khosravi had put his hands around the woman's throat before ordering her to get undressed as she pleaded with him to let her go.
He said: "What happened next was filmed by the defendant on his iPad. He was pressing buttons and told her it was recording."
Mr Dickinson said Khosravi had later claimed he and the woman had been taking part in 'sexual game'.
Robert Lancaster, defending, said Khosravi was high on the drug crystal meth and had a ?150-a-week habit when the attack took place.
He said he had no previous convictions for sexual offences and the He said: "He accepts responsibility for the offences and expresses remorse for his actions."
Khosravi was jailed for six years for each of the two offences, to run concurrently.
Judge Smith, sentencing, told Khosravi the attack and the video was 'degrading and humiliating' for the victim.
Det Con Pat Finnigan, from GMP's Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said after the case it was one of most distressing cases he has had to deal with during his career.
He said: "The victim was put through a terrifying and degrading ordeal, the effects of which will stay with her for the rest of her life.
"Over a relatively prolonged period Khosravi physically and sexually attacked his victim, leaving her in fear for her life."
