Serial rapist Jason Lawrance, who had an interest in amateur boxing, was known as the "toughest boy in his year" according to someone who knew him at school.

"You didn't pick a fight with him," he said.

Lawrance has been jailed for life for raping five women and attacking two more after meeting them on internet dating site Match.com.
