He was found guilty at Blackfriars Crown Court following a five-day trial on June 22.
The incident occurred on the evening of August 30, 2016, when a woman in her 30s attended a house party near Finsbury Park.
The victim went to bed and fell asleep around 1am, believing she was in a safe environment.
