A Preston man who raped and sexually assaulted a woman has been jailed.

Daniel Robinson was found guilty of multiple counts of rape and sexual assault.

The 32-year-old was given a 22-year sentence when he appeared at Preston Crown Court this week.

DS Gem Lashley of our Rape And Serious Sexual Offences team said: “Firstly, I want to commend the victim for the incredible resilience, strength and bravery she has shown in reporting this to us, and throughout the court process.

“Understandably, Robinson’s actions will have had a huge impact on her, but I hope she can now begin to move forward with her life knowing that Robinson has been brought to justice and is serving a significant custodial sentence for his crimes.

“Robinson’s crimes were abhorrent. When his victim told him to stop, he continued to rape her. He is a dangerous man, and I am pleased he has been brought to justice.

“If you have been a victim of any sexual offence, please come forward. We will listen to what you have to say, we will carry out a thorough investigation, and we will do all we can to put the person responsible before the courts.”
