RAPIST JAILED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS
Robert Green, aged 30, was found to have abused a teenage girl by raping her multiple times and subjecting her to various assaults.His crimes came to light in April of the previous year when, during a hospital visit, a nurse noted concerning behaviour and expressed concern.
Following the support offered by the nurse, the victim revealed the abuse she had suffered, prompting police involvement.
Green was identified and promptly arrested.
After a detailed investigation by Northumbria Police’s Safeguarding Department, he was formally charged in April with several offences related to the case.
In October 2024, Green, who has no fixed address, appeared before Newcastle Crown Court and was convicted of four charges, including rape, assault, and non-fatal strangulation.
This morning, Thursday, he reappeared at the same court, where a judge handed down a sentence of 14 years in prison, along with an additional four years on licence upon release.
He is also mandated to remain on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life and will be subject to a lifelong restraining order to ensure the safety of his victim.
