A ‘cruel’ Dunmow Rapist, Rory Miles, who assaulted a woman on a night out and raped her has been incarcerated. Rory Miles, 32, was found guilty last month of sexually assaulting a lady at a location in Dunmow.
Rory Miles assaulted her after a night out in late 2018, before she managed to escape and summon assistance. Specialist officers from our Adult Sexual Abuse Investigation Team provided support, and an investigation into the assault was conducted.
Rory Miles, of Harris Green, Dunmow, was charged with rape. He was convicted of one of the five charges against him. Three other cases will remain on record as no verdict was attained.
“I trust this case instils confidence in our local communities that we rigorously enforce compliance with all mandates imposed on offenders.”
At Chelmsford Crown Court, he was sentenced to four years in prison and put on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Jon Nottage said: “Firstly I would like to commend the woman involved in this case for her strength and dignity throughout this process and I hope that this verdict will bring some comfort.
“I would like to also extend my thanks to various agencies, witnesses, along with the woman’s family and friends who supported her from the moment it was reported. Rory Miles was today convicted for the rape of this woman and sentenced to four years in prison.
“Rory Miles is a cruel man; on the night, he preyed on a woman who believed she would be safe in his company. He did not admit his guilt at any point and maintained everything that happened on the night was consensual and instigated by the woman.
“The Jury expertly navigated through the evidence and found him guilty of rape, and today, Rory Miles now faces his foreseeable future behind bars.
“To anyone out there who has experienced sexual violence of any form, I know that coming forward is a huge and difficult decision with many worries and concerns. I urge you to come forward and speak to us. We can take things at your own pace and put you in touch with many great agencies out there that can offer you additional support.”
