A violent Birmingham Rapist ‘predator’, Steven Walker, has been imprisoned for raping a lady who awakened unclothed in an unfamiliar flat to discover him sexually assaulting her. The victim retained no recollection of events between departing a pub where Steven Walker, 43, was thought to have approached her and the instant she regained consciousness.
Steven Walker was apprehended at his residence on Quinton Lane, Birmingham, following the encouragement of the woman’s friends to report her experience to the authorities. The West Midlands police acquired CCTV footage depicting him escorting woman out of the pub on a Saturday night in November 2019.
Steven Walker admitted having sex with the victim through the night after he was detained, the force said.
At Birmingham Crown Court last month, he was jailed for nine years and six months for three counts of rape. He will also be placed on the sex offender register for life.
West Midlands Police said it was “really pleased to see that justice has been served against a dangerous predator who took advantage of a woman in a vulnerable condition who was not in a position to give consent”.

“The woman has said she can now move on with her life knowing she helped prevent this happening to anyone else. We work hard at West Midlands Police to ensure women and girls can feel safe when they are out on a night out.
“This includes working with agencies to ensure people can get home safely or by working with night time venues, where staff are informed of what signs to look out for. We will always believe victims and would urge anyone who is a victim of this type of crime to have the courage to come forward.
