Norfolk man jailed for 7 year for serious sexual assault
He's also been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely
A Norfolk man's been sentenced to seven years in prison for two rapes in Norwich.
25 year old Scott Morgan, of Recorder Road, Norwich will also spend three years on extended license.
He appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Monday (15 April 2024) after previously pleading guilty to both counts.
He's been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
The sentencing follows an incident on Monday 13 March 2023 when the victim had been on a night out with Morgan and a group of friends.
Morgan, the victim and a friend returned to Morgan’s address late that night to continue socialising.
Whilst the victim was in the bathroom, Morgan asked the other friend present to leave, so that he could be alone with them.
Morgan proceeded to rape the victim twice.
The victim fled the address and sought help from police once they had returned home.
Morgan was arrested a short while later on suspicion of rape and taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning. He was bailed and later charged.
On Monday 15 April 2024, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and three years on extended license.
"A dangerous individual"
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Lawrence Oakes said: “Norfolk Police are committed to supporting victims of sexual offences and bringing offenders to justice.
“Morgan is a dangerous individual who, thanks to the bravery and courage of the victim, no longer poses a threat to the community in Norwich.
“No sentence will ever heal the trauma Morgan has inflicted on his victim however, I do sincerely hope that the closure of this case will be another stage in their healing process."
