The court heard that Mullen raped the first victim in York in 2013 and the second in London in 2020.
In a statement read out in court, the York based victim said: "Before I met you, I always saw the good in people and I trusted others easily.
That changed the night you raped me.
"You wrought such dehumanising violence on my body.
You violated me in a way that's difficult to verbalise.
I won't ever forget the way you made me feel that night, like a worthless object for you to use however you wanted.
"I should have been able to grow into womanhood and discover who I wanted to be, but you decimated my sense of self-worth and self-confidence at a pivotal time in my life.
I felt worthless and used for years afterwards.
"Now, standing here after so long and knowing that I am finally believed, that every juror heard me and recognised the truth, and that you will finally face justice, has changed how I feel.
“I have spent years feeling intimidated by you, scared of you, since the rape, but I have been heard and believed and feel validated, the scales have shifted and now I have some power back too.
“You will have to face the consequences for your actions, as I have been doing for all these years."
