Description
A Chesterfield rapist who left a woman suffering nightmares and anxiety has been jailed.
Rys Turner’s vile actions were uncovered after the woman came forward and told officers of the rape after he assaulted her in March 2023.
In a statement read out at court, she explained the devastating impact that the crimes had on her. She said: ”I’ve been taking sleeping tablets because my thoughts keep me awake at night and I don’t want to fall to sleep and have anymore nightmares about everything.
“I don’t think my life will ever be the same after this.
“I just want to be left alone, I don’t want to see anyone and I don’t want to speak to anyone either.
“I’m so closed off from the outside world it’s affecting my anxiety even more.
“Sleeping is still a massive struggle, the nightmares put me right back in those traumatic moments, they feel so real I’m waking up in a panic.”
The 26-year-old, of Littlemoor, Newbold, appeared at Derby Crown Court on 15 December when he was jailed for six years after admitting rape.
He was also handed a restraining order preventing him from having any contact with the victim for 16 years and was ordered to sign the sex offenders register.
