August 2020 Sex predator jailed for rape A ‘predator’ who raped a woman on a night out in Nottingham city centre has been jailed for more than nine years. On the evening of Wednesday 20 February, Michael Doyle, 28., of no fixed address, raped a woman who was on her way home from Nottingham city centre having left a nightclub. He had approached her when she was on her own and offered to walk her home before sexually assaulting her in an alleyway and stealing a bag that contained her phone. Doyle was located by police after the iCloud of his victim’s stolen phone was logged into and traced to a pub in Derbyshire. He was subsequently charged with rape and pleaded guilty to the offence just weeks before a trial was due to start. He was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday 14 August for nine years and six months for rape and theft.
