Teenage girl raped as she slept by evil baby-faced 19-year-old
The perpetrator initially denied the offences to officers before later admitting them in court.
A 19-year-old has been jailed after sexually assaulting and raping a teenage girl as she slept. Ryan Upton, of Moorland Road, Sandbach, Cheshire, pleaded guilty to rape and assault by penetration.
Upton and the victim had been at an address in Crewe on Boxing Day 2024 when he had sexually assaulted her while she was asleep, Cheshire Constabulary said. Upton also raped the victim who fled from the address following the assault. A passer-by found the victim who helped her to call the police.
Upton was then arrested but in an interview with investigators, denied the offences.
However forensic tests provided a positive DNA match for Upton who was then charged with the crimes which he later admitted in court.
DC Sallis, of Cheshire Constabulary, said: “This lengthy custodial sentence reflects the severity of what Upton did – something which he ultimately had no choice but to admit due to the strength of the forensic evidence against him.
“We would like to commend the bravery of the victim in this case for reporting this offence and although she will never forget what happened, we hope the fact that Upton is behind bars will give her some closure.”
Upton was handed a 10-year prison sentence at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday last week (May 26).
Upton must also sign the Sex Offender Register indefinitely and is subject to a restraining order to protect the victim.
