MAN JAILED FOR RAPE OF WOMAN
A Bristol man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for rape and controlling behaviour, with a court order preventing him from contacting the woman involved.Bibak Singh, aged 37 and residing in Stonebridge Park, was convicted at Bristol Crown Court on Friday, 17 April.
He is mandated to serve at least two-thirds of his sentence before he can seek parole.
The six-day trial in March led to his conviction on allegations of rape and emotional manipulation.
In a personal statement prepared for the court, she said: “I feel as if I am living a life sentence because of what was done to me.
“What he has done to me has permanently changed who I am and how I live my life.
“By going through the police investigation and court, I hope I have shown how strong and resilient I can be after being put down and mistreated.
I hope this shows others in my situation that you can be believed and that behaviour like this is not acceptable in any situation.” Alongside the jail sentence, Singh was added to the Sex Offender’s Register and a restraining order granted for Singh not to have any contact with the victim.
