Phillips was arrested six days after the attacks and charged with a string of sex offences.
He was convicted of Phillps was convicted of two counts of rape (sentenced to 11 years for each), three counts of assault by penetration (four years each) and one count of sexual assault (one year).
He will serve his sentences concurrently.
He was found guilty in July but The Times can only reveal his conviction this week as reporting restrictions have been lifted.
DI Jodie Tuff, investigating officer, fears Phillips may have struck more than once.
He said: “Phillips is clearly a sexual predator who preyed on a vulnerable female, encouraging her to drink alcohol to the point where she was incapacitated before carrying out a sustained sexual attack on her.
“It is highly likely he has committed further offences therefore I would ask anyone with information or who wishes to report an offence to contact 020 8733 3773.”
