MAN JAILED FOR 22 YEARS FOR RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT
A Clacton man has been jailed for 22 years for a shocking array of rapes and sexual assaults.Ricky Cutts, 37, was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday having previously denied all the allegations against him when he appeared before a judge in July.
He later changed his pleas to the charges, which included eight counts of rape and four counts of sexual assault against a female victim.
A judge jailed Cutts, previously of Marine Parade East, Clacton, for 17 years on one count of rape.
Sentences for the other 11 charges were passed concurrently.
The judge ordered Cutts to serve a further five years in addition to the 17-year period, meaning the defendant could remain in prison until he is in his late 50s.
Essex Police said they did not have a custody picture on file of the defendant.
