A Stamford man who sexually assaulted a woman has been jailed for five years and 10 months.

Caine Hull was just 17 when he committed the crimes in November 2018.

Hull - who also tried to rape another woman - was found guilty after a trial in July.

He was also convicted of attempted robbery and remain on the Sex offenders Register indefinitely.

The Officer investigating the sexual assaults and attempted rape, DC Kerry Munro said: “Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to the women assaulted by Hull and their bravery in coming to us and supporting the investigation. It’s been a long wait for them to finally see Hull face justice for what he has done.

"The delays they have endured were exacerbated by Hull’s refusal to accept responsibility for his crimes. No sentence could make up for the harm he has caused but I hope today’s result brings some peace and consolation to these inspirational women.

“This is a message to perpetrators of the consequences of their actions. We will do all in our power to bring offenders before the courts, no matter how long it takes. If you have been a victim of sexual assault, we will take your report seriously and treat you with sensitivity and respect.

"Support is available regardless of if you choose to report to us and it’s vital that we take every opportunity to highlight that. You can speak to the organisations listed below in confidence, and what you tell them won't be shared with the police unless you ask for it to be.”
