Description
Philip Duffield, a 25-year-old from Grosvenor Road, Solihull, has been jailed for 12 years as a 'sexual predator' for raping two young women in a Holiday Inn hotel and assaulting a third after spiking her drink.
He was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday, January 7, and must serve two-thirds (eight years) before release consideration, plus a three-year extended licence as a 'dangerous offender,' per Judge Heidi Kubik KC.
She told him: "You remain unrepentant with a total lack of insight into the impact of your actions on the women concerned and a total lack of insight into your own wrong-doing."
Duffield claimed consensual contact with his three 2024 victims, but a jury convicted him of two rapes and one assault by penetration.
In April, he met an 18-year-old and 20-year-old at a Wetherspoon's in Shrewsbury, then raped them at the hotel while they were semi-conscious and 'extremely intoxicated.' One reported him, leading to arrest and bail.
In December, he attacked another woman in Birmingham after Glamorous nightclub, spiking her drink at his home.
Duffield had no prior crimes, was a university graduate in a 'good job earning a significant amount of money,' and his barrister called him 'sexually immature.'
