- Distinguishing Features / Details
- He pleaded guilty to rape, administering a substance with intent to rape and possession of class C drugs (Flunitrazepam - also known as Rohypnol- and Nitrazepamin) in Bedminster, Bristol, between February 2016 and April 2016. He was working as a male fitness photographer after setting up an online enterprise called WilkoPhotography. He used social media to identify men he wanted to photograph who he then invited to his home. He then plied them with alcoholic drinks, some of which were laced with sedatives, and committed sexual acts on them without their consent while they were in a drugged state. He was being investigated for offences against his first victim, a 19-year-old man from Kent, when police attended his home to arrest him and found a second victim, a 23-year-old man from Gloucestershire, asleep on his sofa.
The judge said: "You wanted to have sex with as many attractive men as possible... the victims were much younger than you and entrusted themselves to you. You abused the trust they placed in you." - Mitigating & Aggravating Factors
