HULL RAPIST JAILED FOR 12 YEARS AFTER BRUTAL OFFENSES
A man named Ben Waterman from Hull, East Yorkshire, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being convicted of two counts of rape and a sexual assault.
The offender attacked a pregnant woman three days before she gave birth, causing her to be hospitalized with bleeding, and also assaulted another woman by fracturing her eye socket.
Additionally, he assaulted a shop supervisor.
Waterman had challenged police by posting on Facebook: 'Catch me if you can you piggy b**s.
I’ve been on Preston Road a month.
Open ye eyes boys,' and was eventually apprehended after a public appeal.
During the sentencing at Hull Crown Court, the victim described her trauma, stating she suffers flashbacks, takes sleeping tablets, and avoids going out alone or at night.

He was found hiding in a cupboard and was convicted by a jury.
The court sentenced him to 12 years and imposed a lifelong sex offender registration and a restraining order.
The police described him as dangerous and noted his taunting behavior while on the run.
