Tiverton Paedophile Owen Rendall, a guy from Devon has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for the rape and sexual assault of three adolescent females.
Owen Rendall, 26, of Shapland Place, Tiverton, was sentenced at Exeter Crown Court on Friday, 18 October.
He had previously been convicted of three counts of rape, sexual assault by penetration, and two counts of sexual assault against a girl.
During the trial, the jury heard how in 2018 Owen Rendall sexually assaulted a girl, who was under the age of 16, several times on the canal path in Tiverton while she was walking home.
He told her she didn’t need to tell anyone and it was “their secret”.
The victim did not feel able to support a prosecution at the time but later came forward to provide evidence.
In February 2020, Owen Rendall raped another teenage girl at a house in Sampford Peverell.
She was upset and he comforted her, inviting her to go with him to his room. She agreed on the understanding that he didn’t make any sexual advances.
Despite this, when they arrived at his room, Owen Rendall forced himself upon her and raped her.
In September 2021, Rendall raped a second girl in an alleyway near the market in Tiverton.
She was under the influence of alcohol at the time and recalls speaking to Owen Rendall briefly while on a night out with friends.
He then isolated her from her friends and took her to an alleyway, where he attacked her.
When questioned by police, Owen Rendall insisted that all sexual contact with the victims had been consensual.
He must serve at least 10 years eight months of his sentence and sign the sex offenders’ register for life.
DC Caroline Robertson from Devon and Cornwall Police said Owen Rendall was “a dangerous sexual predator” and had shown “no remorse since his arrest”.
She added: “We will continue to work tirelessly to bring offenders like Owen Randall to justice.
“I would especially like to thank those involved in this case for their bravery and patience during the investigation and court process.”
