Additionally, he sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman, restraining her and grabbing her neck.
During court proceedings, Garden admitted to being involved in these incidents but lied to police, inventing stories that he was out at night protecting women.
He was convicted of sexual assault involving penetration and assault over clothing.
He received a prison sentence of seven years and six months, along with an extended four-year license.
The judge described him as a "dangerous" offender who remains at risk of committing similar acts in the future, and ordered him to register as a sex offender for life.
