DERBYSHIRE MAN JAILED FOR REPEATED RAPES AND SEXUAL OFFENCES
A "dangerous" Derbyshire man raped a woman multiple times but denied the offences when he was arrested by police.Oliver Maddocks, formerly of Mountford Avenue, Wirksworth, subjected his victim to two rapes, a sexual assault, and voyeurism offences during the 2010s and 2020s.
Upon arrest, the 39-year-old said that he had not raped the woman – and then answered no comment to all other questions.
After he was charged, Maddocks denied the offences and replied no comment to all other questions, forcing a trial on the case.
A jury at Chesterfield Magistrates’ Court, sitting as crown court, convicted him on two counts of rape, one count of voyeurism, one count of possession of cocaine and another of possession of cannabis.
He returned to court this month for sentencing where he was jailed for 12 years and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
Maddocks, who was also given a restraining order on the victim, was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and must notify the police of any intimate or sexual relationship he has, notify police of any electronic device he possesses, and immediately give officers that device when asked for examination.
PC Steven Sanderson, who along with PC Kate Bradbury led the investigation into Maddocks, said: "The victim’s decision to support the police and see this to the end demonstrates an exceptional level of courage.
To stand up, speak out, and go before the court for an investigation that took close to three-years and relive such distressing events reflects her tenacity and determination to ensure that Maddocks was brought to justice and cannot hurt others.
That she has been able to find a way forward through this life changing trauma is nothing short of remarkable and I am truly grateful for her support to this investigation that has led to this significant sentence." PC Bradbury added: "Oliver Maddocks is a dangerous sexual predator who I have no doubt would have continued to offend.
His sentence provides immediate safety for both his victim and the wider public, and on his release, he will be subject to strict orders to help continue to keep the public safe."
