Man jailed for more than six years for rape
He was found guilty of raping a woman at her Northampton home between January and September 2023
A 34-year-old man convicted of rape and breaching a sexual risk order has been jailed for more than six years.
Oliver George White admitted the breach of the sexual risk order at his trial on August 7, at Northampton Crown Court, but continued to deny three other serious sexual offences.
The breach of the sexual risk order occurred on February 6 this year, when White without any reasonable excuse failed to notify police of a relationship, which he was required to do under the terms of the order.
White, of Coltman Drive, Loughborough, stood trial in connection with the other three sexual offences, and on August 20, he was found guilty of raping a woman at her Northampton home between January and September 2023.
However, the jury found him not guilty of two of the three charges - a second count of rape and one of attempted rape, and he was discharged by the presiding judge in relation to these matters.
Last month (October 16), White returned to Northampton Crown Court to be sentenced and was handed a six year and two-month prison term. He was also given an indefinite restraining order prohibiting him from contacting the victim.
Detective Sergeant Elizabeth Jeeves, of the Force’s SOLAR Team which investigates rapes and serious sexual assaults, paid tribute to the bravery of his survivor.
DS Jeeves said: “Oliver White showed a lack of empathy and remorse towards the survivor in this case, who showed immense courage throughout the trial.
“Without her bravery throughout our investigation and court case, White could still be on the streets, but instead he has rightly been jailed for the abhorrent crime he committed.
“Violence against women and girls remains a priority for the Force and we are committed to bringing the likes of White to justice. We know how hard it is to take that step of reporting to us, but when you do, we will do all we can to support you.”
