Marlborough man jailed for two serious sexual assaults on woman

A 29 year-old man from Marlborough has been jailed for six years for two serious sexual assaults on a woman.
A jury at Swindon Crown Court unanimously found James Rumney of Poulton Hill guilty of two counts of rape last month.
The assaults took place after a night out in September 2020.
During sentencing, Judge Townsend said: "The impact on your victim has been devastating. I want to pay tribute to her for revealing these matters and to go through the trauma of giving evidence."
“Our victim asked the perpetrator to stop on more than one occasion but he refused and continued to force himself on her, at times treating her like an inanimate object. She was terrified and very distressed and it took an enormous amount of bravery for her to get away from him and then report it to us.
“I’d like to thank the victim for having the courage to come forward and report this in the first place. It’s not an easy thing to do but her bravery in doing this helped us investigate this crime which led to this jail sentence.”
