Bewdley man sentenced for rape
The 47-year-old will serve over eight years behind bars.
A 47-year-old man has been sentenced to eight years and two months after he was found guilty of rape.
Audey Loveridge, of Woodman Caravan Park, Ribbesford Road, Bewdley was sentenced at Worcester Crown court today (3 October), after he was found guilty of a rape that took place in December 2022.
The court heard how Loveridge raped a woman on two occasions in a caravan on Woodman caravan park on the 5 and 6 of December 2022.
Loveridge also received an indefinite restraining order against the victim and has been ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
Detective Constable Simon Reilly who led the investigation said: “The sentencing is certainly welcome in offering closure for the victim, and I hope that it assists her in being able to move forward with her life, however, I know the level of trauma inflicted upon the victim is something that sadly lives on.”
