GRAYS SEX OFFENDER JAILED FOR 12 YEARS AFTER YEARS OF ABUSE
A rapist who subjected his victim to a "horrendous ordeal" after years of abuse has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Blaine Norton, aged 38 and from Falcon Avenue, Grays, was convicted of rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH), and false imprisonment at Basildon Crown Court on June 9.
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and will serve an additional two-and-a-half years on license.
Additionally, he will be on the sex offenders register for life.
The incident involved Norton forcing himself on the victim in January 2017, despite her repeatedly telling him to stop and stating clearly she did not want to have sex.
The case was investigated by specially trained sexual abuse detectives, with Detective Constable Richard Clark praising the victim's bravery and emphasizing the importance of reporting sexual abuse.
Norton’s actions culminated in a violent pattern over several years, and he faces a significant time behind bars as a consequence of his crimes.
