Hessle man jailed for over 10 years for the serious sexual assault of two teenagers
It relates to incidents in 2016 and 2019
A Hessle man's been jailed for 10 and a half years for the serious sexual assault of two teenagers.
20 year old Danny Bailey of Newlyn Close appeared at Hull Crown Court today (7th April) for sentencing, after pleading guilty to three counts of rape an one of harassment.
The charges related to the rape of two teenagers in 2016 and 2019, and the harassment of a woman in 2021.
DC Jenny Rayworth of Humberside Police's protecting Vulnerable People unit said:
“The bravery and dignity of the three victims has been phenomenal all throughout this investigation.
“Bailey coerced his teenage victims into sexual acts for his own gratification. This dangerous man then terrified these women with disgusting and graphic threats. His behaviour was escalating, and today’s sentence reflects the danger Bailey poses to innocent women.
“I know this sentencing does not take away the pain and hurt he has caused, but I hope the outcome will provide them with some closure in knowing that no one else can come to harm at the hands of this perverted predator.
“I would like to provide reassurance to anyone who may have suffered sexual abuse that we will listen to and support you.
“It is never the victim’s fault and I would strongly appeal for anyone who believes they are being manipulated into doing something they don’t want to, to speak with an adult or friend and report it to us.
“We work in partnership with local authorities and a number of local charities and agencies to ensure victims of this type of crime are offered advice and support whether they decide to pursue through the justice system or not.
“If you have been the victim of rape or sexual assault, there are various ways you can report it to the police. You can speak to independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, or you can report directly through our 101 number, or 999 in an emergency.
“You will be listened to, we will work with you and we will continue to take action against offenders.”
