Description
A violent abuser from Medway has been jailed for 15 years after subjecting his victim to a series of attacks and rapes.
Billy Cass, 34, of Rainham High Street, raped his victim multiple times including while she slept. He also sent threatening messages to her and assaulted her.
Court
A Southwark Crown Court jury found Cass guilty of four counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and one count of actual bodily harm. He had previously admitted a charge of harassment with fear of violence.
Being sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday 5 November 2025, Cass was jailed for 15 years and will be added to the sex offenders’ register for life. He will also be subject to an indefinite restraining order against his victim.
Statement
Investigating officer Detective Constable Stephanie Wilson said:
‘The abuse suffered by the victim in this case was horrendous and sustained. Cass’ horrific actions have led to serious harm and will no doubt have a long lasting impact on the victim.
‘We commend the bravery of the victim in coming to us and disclosing her experiences. The detail of her account has led to the sentence we see today. We’re satisfied Cass will spend a considerable time behind bars, where he will hopefully reflect on the cruelty he has unleashed.’
