The Whitby Rapist, Luke David Wilson, 31, of Rosedale Close, has been sentenced to five years and ten months in prison for the rape of a lady in Whitby.

Luke David Wilson confessed to committing sexual assault by penetration on the woman, who was in her late 20s, at a location in Whitby between 5:20 AM and 6:20 AM on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
He was remanded in custody prior to the sentencing today (Wednesday, July 2) due to violations of both police and court bail conditions.
