DEVON MAN JAILED FOR RAPE OF TEEN IN KINGSBRIDGE

A Devon man has been jailed for raping a teenager in a shed.

Tony Taylor, 44, forced himself on the terrified girl and ignored her pleas to stop, Exeter Crown Court heard.

He told her not to tell anyone what had happened and that it would be 'their secret'.

Police were called, and Taylor was arrested.

He initially refused to answer police questions but later pleaded guilty to rape and two charges of sexual assault.

He has been sentenced to six years and nine months.

The court was told he raped his victim in 2023.

Taylor, of Coronation Road, Kingsbridge, had been drinking and started groping the girl.

She repeatedly said 'no' and froze in terror during the assault, said prosecutor Mary McCarthy.

DNA evidence confirmed Taylor's guilt, but he still refused to answer questions.

His solicitor argued that sex offenders often don't admit guilt and that it took 'a huge amount of courage' to do so.

The judge stated it was impossible to know what was going through his head at the time, noting that he is an otherwise decent member of society.

Taylor must sign the sex offender register for life and was issued a sexual harm prevention order until further notice.
