A man has been sentenced to four years in prison for raping a woman twice.

The rapes happened at an address in Gillingham in November.

George Wenlock, age 19, of Mallard Walk, Sidcup, attacked the woman, despite her telling him on several occasions that his advances were unwelcome and he did not have consent.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court today.

Wenlock will appear on the Sex Offenders’ Register indefinitely and was given a 10-year restraining order.

The senior investigating officer for the case, Detective Inspector Dan Rance, said: "Standing up against a man who has subjected you to the most abhorrent of offences is an incredibly difficult and intrusive process to go through.

"I commend this lady for the courage she has shown.

"Rape is a heinous offence and everyone at Kent Police is committed to ensuring offenders for this type of crime are brought before the court so that a custodial sentence can be imposed."
