Description

A 32-year-old man has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for rape whilst at a Bucks pub.

Matthew Clayden, aged 32, of Norfolk Road, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, pleaded guilty to rape and sexual assault at Amersham Crown Court on Monday (February 21).

Last year, on August 27, the victim went to a pub in Aylesbury for drinks with some friends.

When Clayden was alone with the victim, he kissed her, touched her breasts, and forced her to perform oral sex.

He has now been put on the sex offenders register for life.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Laura Wright, based at Aylesbury police station, said: This is a suitable conviction for a serious crime committed against a vulnerable young woman, who was having some drinks with friends.

The victim, in this case, has been extremely strong throughout this investigation and hopefully she and her family are happy that justice has been served against the offender.
