A dangerous sexual predator has been jailed for life, following a campaign of horrific abuse against two women.
40 year old Glen Samson, from Liverpool, has been found guilty of a catalogue of serious sexual offences and false imprisonment.
In 2004, Samson received a life sentence for offences of multiple rapes, false imprisonment and GBH. He served 12 years behind bars, before being released on licence in 2016.
Shortly after leaving prison he began abusing two different women, both physically and mentally. He raped them a number of times, threatened to kill them, and kept them locked inside his home. The offences took place in Huddersfield, Liverpool and London.
One of the victims came forward to the police in 2018 and an investigation was launched. The second victim was also identified and she bravely came forward to the police as well.
Throughout his trial, Samson refused to take the stand and also refused to give evidence, despite putting both his victims through the grueling court process.
On Monday 24 June, Samson was convicted of 24 counts of rape, two counts of control and coercive behaviour, threats to kill and three counts of false imprisonment
He was given a further life sentence with a minimum of 32 years in prison.
"If they had not had the courage to come forward, he would continue to abuse them."
Detective Inspector Seth Robinson, who led the investigation, said: “Samson’s conviction, for what can only be described as horrendous crimes, has removed a dangerous and obsessed sexual predator from our streets. It was evident that he had planned to commit these offences against the victims and if they had not had the courage to come forward, he would continue to abuse them.
“He is a coward and showed no remorse for what he had done to his victims and the campaign of abuse he inflicted on them.
“The two victims have showed immense bravery throughout the whole criminal process and I hope that the sentencing of this depraved man allows them some closure to their horrific ordeal. They have been supported by specially trained officer since they came forward to the police to report the offences.
