A man who denied raping a woman in her own home after a night out was jailed after being found guilty following a trial.
Joseph Turnbull had been on a night out with the woman and several others when he offered to accompany her on her journey home to make sure she returned safe.
Once there, the 25-year-old asked her if he could stay the night to avoid disturbing his own family back home – to which she agreed, and gave him blankets to sleep on the sofa.
However, during the night, Turnbull, of Darlington, left the sofa and got into the woman's bed, where he raped her.
The distressed woman quickly left the scene and travelled to her mum’s home where she told her what had happened.
After several months, the woman found the courage to report what had happened to her to police and officers launched an investigation.
Turnbull was arrested and later charged with rape, which he denied.
He was found guilty following a trial at Teesside Crown Court and jailed for four years and four months
