Rape convict tried to force victim to recuse himself

In the UK, a court sentenced Jaden Thorpe to eight years in prison for rape, strangulation and systematic abuse of a woman. The man also tried to disrupt the investigation by putting pressure on the victim after she went to the police. This was reported by Nottinghamshire Police.

According to the materials of the criminal case, the crimes continued throughout 2024 and 2025. The convict repeatedly subjected the woman to physical and psychological violence, controlled her behavior and created an environment of constant fear.

At different times, the man raped the victim and strangled her.

The woman had long feared further violence, but later turned to law enforcement for help.

After the arrest, Thorpe tried to convince the victim to abandon the previously given testimony. The investigation regarded these actions as an attempt to obstruct justice.

In February, the man was charged with several counts, including rape, willful strangulation, coercive and controlling behavior, and obstruction of justice.

The defendant denied guilt in all episodes. The case was heard by Nottingham Crown Court with a jury. In August, they found Thorpe guilty.

The verdict was announced on November 10. In addition to eight years in prison, the court prohibited the convict from having any contact with the victim. The restriction will remain in effect until a separate court decision.

Detective Abby Rawson stressed that the woman’s testimony was a key factor in bringing the perpetrator to justice, despite pressure attempts.
