Jay Savage, a 33-year-old man from Marsh Lane, Boston, has been found guilty at Lincoln Crown Court of abduction, rape, and taking an indecent photograph involving a teenager.
The verdict was delivered following a six-day trial, during which Savage was found guilty of the offences committed against his young victim.
He will remain in custody until his sentencing, which is scheduled for 27th November 2026.
The court heard that the incident occurred on the night of 16th March 2025 when the teenage victim was walking home through Boston town centre.
At around 9.15pm, Savage approached the young girl, demanding her mobile phone under false pretences.
He led her through the town and eventually forced her into a property, where the assault occurred, recording an indecent image on his mobile.
The young girl, having paid attention to her surroundings while the incident awas happening, was able to later recount the route to investigators.
Her alertness played a crucial role in the swift actions of law enforcement, who located and arrested Savage at his residence in Marsh Lane shortly after midnight on 17th March 2025.
DC Charlotte Howitt, who led the investigation, praised the bravery and resilience shown by the victim throughout the trial process.
DC Howitt said:
“The resilience and bravery displayed by this young victim throughout an incredibly harrowing investigation and court process have been truly remarkable."
"Together, with the victim’s bravery and the relentless efforts of the officers involved, we have ensured that a dangerous individual has been held accountable for his actions."
"I hope this outcome gives the victim some measure of closure and demonstrates our commitment to pursuing offenders and supporting victims every step of the way.”
