A vile rapist who subjected a woman to a horrific attack in Westminster has been locked up for 15 years following a harrowing court case.
The predator, whose identity remains protected for legal reasons, carried out the brutal assault in the heart of London, leaving his victim traumatised.
Disturbing Details of the Attack
The court heard how the attacker preyed on his victim in a calculated and cruel manner. The woman, whose life has been irrevocably changed by the ordeal, showed immense bravery in coming forward to ensure justice was served.
Justice Served
Judge Sarah Munro QC condemned the rapist’s actions as "sickening and depraved" before handing down the lengthy prison sentence. She praised the victim’s courage, stating that her testimony was crucial in securing the conviction.
Detective Inspector Emma Brown, who led the investigation, said: "This sentencing sends a clear message that such abhorrent crimes will not be tolerated. We commend the victim for her strength throughout this painful process."
