The Oldbury Rapist, James Hollingsworth, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for multiple offences against a lady, including rape and sexual assault.
James Hollingsworth, residing on Pinkney Place, was apprehended shortly after the woman reported the incident.
He was then charged with two charges of rape, two counts of sexual assault, and controlling and coercive behaviour.
The 29-year-old, although denying the charges, was convicted after a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court and was sentenced to 16 years in jail on Friday, May 23.
James Hollingsworth has been permanently placed on the sex offenders register and issued a restraining order.
Investigating officer, PC Nathan Lawrence from our Public Protection Unit, said: “The woman who came forward to tell us about James Hollingsworth has shown immense courage after suffering a truly horrific ordeal.
“From her initial report, through to the trial, our expert officers have tried their best to support her, and we commend her bravery.
“We encourage anyone who has suffered abuse to speak to us – you will be supported and believed, and I hope this case shows how seriously it will be taken.”
