A judge commended a woman for her resilience and bravery in seeking justice against a rapist.
Michael Silcock has been sentenced to 11 years for committing a rape and two counts of sexual assault against his victim.

Prosecutor Michael Morley read a statement on the victim’s behalf, in which she described feeling frightened, anxious, and paranoid, experiencing sudden flashbacks that made her feel unable to breathe.
Silcock, aged 56, of Bull Close Lane in Halifax, was found guilty by a jury after a trial.
The court was informed of his extensive criminal history, which includes 40 convictions encompassing 91 crimes such as wounding, assault, and dishonesty, with records dating back to 1983.
