ROGER DRAKE FROM WESTON-SUPER-MARE SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE AND RAPE

In January 2016, Roger Drake, a man with a disturbing history of sexual offenses, faced the court to answer for his latest crimes. The court heard that Drake, who resides in Weston-super-Mare, had admitted to sexually abusing and raping a woman, leading to a sentencing of six years in prison. This conviction was not his first; Drake was previously convicted of raping an eight-year-old girl, a crime that has left a lasting scar on the victim and the community.

During the trial, evidence was presented that painted a disturbing picture of Drake's behavior. Authorities found her underwear and a photograph hidden beneath his pillow, which they described as degrading and indicative of his predatory nature. The court emphasized the severe impact these crimes had on the victim, highlighting the trauma and suffering inflicted by Drake’s actions.

In addition to the six-year sentence for the rape and sexual abuse, Drake received an extra four months for additional sexual assault charges. Recognizing the danger he poses to society, the court also ordered that Drake be placed on the sex offenders register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions to protect the public from further harm.
