Vile rapist commits nightmare sex attack on women.

A man was sentenced to nine years in prison for a horrific sex attack on a woman in Dorset.

Jaimie Reeves, 27, was found guilty of attempted vaginal rape, attempted oral rape, assault by penetration and sexual assault following a trial at Bournemouth Crown Court.

The court heard that Reeves had been with the woman at a house in Dorset when the incident occurred. While they were both sitting in the lounge, Reeves moved to the sofa she was on and began to grope her. They then went into the garden for a cigarette, at which point Reeves told the woman he wanted to have sex with her.

Once back inside, Reeves tried to pull the woman's shorts and underwear down and told her, "You're going to let me have it." The woman refused his advances, telling him no and repeatedly trying to leave. Reeves then launched a vicious sex attack on the woman, becoming rough and demanding she remain quiet.

Prosecutor Andrew Houston said the assault took place over a significant period of time, lasting for perhaps more than an hour. The woman was only able to escape in the early hours of the morning when Reeves went into the bathroom to be sick. She went home, told her mother, and then reported the attack to the police.

In a victim statement, the woman said, "Each morning when I wake up, I have to remind myself that he won't be able to hurt me anymore like he did that day. I do believe this is something that will change my life forever."

During sentencing on October 24, 2020, Recorder Richard Onslow told Reeves, "What went on inside was nothing short of a nightmare for [the victim]. She kept telling you no and that she wasn't interested. You kept trying to rape her, when there was obvious resistance. She felt extremely vulnerable."

The judge added, "The effects upon her have clearly been severe - crippling anxiety, terrified of walking in the street, panic attacks, and struggling with mental health."

Reeves was also handed a restraining order for an indefinite period and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
