- Distinguishing Features / Details
- He was found guilty of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault between June 2011 and November 2014. He used profiles (keepitstraighttoday and straightmanlooking) on the dating site Match.com to meet (five of his seven) victims from five counties - Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Derbyshire. He persuaded his victims to contact him privately, off the match.com website, and arranged to meet them. He raped five of his victims (in his van in Northamptonshire in June 2011; a hotel room in Cambridgeshire in October 2014; a hotel in Leicestershire in November 2014; and at his victims home in November 2014). He attempted to rape one victim in her home in Spalding, Lincolnshire, in July 2013. He sexually assaulted another woman by touching her right breast over her clothing in Leicestershire in February 2014.
The judge said: "I am compelled to the dreadful conclusion that you enjoyed raping women... Given the chance you will rape again. I do not know when it may be safe to release you into the community." - Online Resources
