LEYTONSTONE SERIAL RAPIST WAYNE LIDDY JAILED FOR 12 YEARS
A SERIAL rapist who attacked three women in the 1990s has finally been jailed.Wayne Liddy, 44, admitted raping two women in Leytonstone and Forest Gate and indecently assaulting a third in Wanstead Flats.
He was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court last week to a total of 12 years after DNA evidence linked him to the sexual assaults.
The first attack occurred on October 17, 1992, when Liddy grabbed a 35-year-old woman returning home from a night out, dragged her into a garage area, and raped her in Earlham Grove, Forest Gate.
Less than a month later, Liddy threatened a 22-year-old woman in Wanstead Flats, near Manor Park station, and forced her to undress and perform a sexual act.
On March 21, 1993, Liddy dragged a 27-year-old woman to a secluded area of an underground car park in Kirkdale Road, Leytonstone, and raped her.
Liddy was not identified as the rapist at first, and the crimes remained unsolved.
However, in 2007, he was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage in Northern Ireland, and his DNA was taken, which matched samples from the crime scenes.
Liddy received a sentence of three years for the Wanstead Flats attack and three and a half years for each of the other rapes, to be served consecutively.
