OTTAWA - The Crown is seeking almost four more years in jail for a man who raped, beat and extorted sex and cash from terrified women who believed he was a powerful Hells Angel.

A psychiatrist concluded that Peter Guido, 31, "does impress as significantly psychopathic."

Guido pleaded guilty to 15 charges including sexual assault, uttering threats, criminal harassment, extortion and choking between 2006 and 2008.

Guido's lies led his two girlfriends into a "web of deceit" that consumed them, prosecutor Marie Dufort argued.

"Those women lived in fear," she said.

One victim, a mother of three who met Guido online, was beaten, had clumps of her hair pulled out and was too scared to refuse to have sex or hand over $23,000. He also assaulted her teen son.

Guido, who demanded a truck to "move bodies," told her he'd killed before and the Hells Angels can make people disappear.

She'll never forget the threats, manipulation and fear that "hijacked my life," the woman wrote in a victim-impact statement.

She still has "flashes of memory when I believed I was truly going to die on so many occasions and not ever see my kids grow up."

She's now left with anger, "knowing it was all coldly staged."

Another victim, who dated Guido for a year, was forced during a fight to drive to an isolated area while he called unknown people to bring shovels.

After they broke up, she was raped and sodomized in her home and had her head slammed into a concrete wall. He also extorted $4,000 from her.

Dufort argued that the public needs to be protected from a man who's judged a moderate- to high-risk to reoffend and even more dangerous if he uses cocaine.

Dufort told the court that only a penitentiary sentence can send a strong message.

He argued Guido shouldn't get the usual two-for-one credit for the 16 months he's served because he landed himself back behind bars by committing new crimes.

Defence lawyer Paul Lewandowski argued the public would be better protected by a provincial jail sentence of two years less a day plus three years of probation that would keep Guido under tight supervision for five more years.

Guido -- a first-time offender with a supportive family -- admitted his guilt and submitted to a psychiatric assessment that will be a "powerful axe looming over his head" should he reoffend, Lewandowski argued.

Guido will be sentenced May 31.
