Man jailed for 18 years for kidnap and sexual assault in Norwich
It's after a woman was attacked in October last year
A man has been jailed for 18 years for multiple sexual assaults and the kidnap of a woman in Norwich.
Tenias Mungwari, aged 47 and of Sleaford Green, will also be on the sex offenders register for life, after being found guilty of kidnap, sexual assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault at Norwich Crown Court.
Mungwari was arrested in October last year after a woman reported being forced into a vehicle as she walked home from a night out.
She was then taken to a home in Norwich, where she was sexually assaulted.
The 47 year old was traced after police traced his licence plate using CCTV. He was seen to turn his vehicle around after seeing his victim walking along a road in Norwich City Centre.
Detective Inspector Kevin Barber, who investigated the case for Norfolk Police, said: “Today an extremely dangerous individual has been removed from society for a considerable time.
“The actions of Mungwari were predatory and the Court has heard how he was patrolling the streets looking for a vulnerable female.
"Mungwari showed no remorse at any point during the investigation, nor during the trial.
“I praise the victim for her strength and courage throughout the ordeal that she has had to suffer.
"This has had a profound effect on the victim and no sentence will turn back time for her to a time when she didn’t have to deal with the knowledge that she was sexually abused by someone who picked her up from the side of the road.
"However, I do sincerely hope that the closure of this case will be another stage in the healing process for the victim.
“I would like to reassure the public that offences such as this are very rare in our county and Norfolk Police are committed to supporting victims of sexual offences and bringing offenders to justice.
"Victims of sexual offences who live in Norfolk can contact the Harbour Centre for free, 24/7 support on 01603 276381.”
Mungwari was also sentenced for having a sexual relationship with a female patient suffering with mental illness that he had cared for.
