He will be eligible for parole after serving two-thirds of his sentence and will remain subject to notification requirements for life.
Nam Nguyen, 26, of no fixed address, was found guilty of the following offences at Inner London Crown Court on Monday, 18 March.

Detective Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh, local policing commander in Lambeth and Southwark, said: “It’s hard to imagine the pain and suffering this woman went through and I am pleased the man responsible for these awful crimes has been brought to justice.
“This is some of the worst offending our detectives have ever seen and I do not underestimate the impact having to speak at length about this has had on the victim. We will continue to support her in any way we can.
“This has been an incredibly complex investigation and I hope this outcome demonstrates how the Met is committed to tackling violence against women and girls. We will continue to ensure dangerous and predatory men face the consequences of their actions.”
