Marcus Taylor, aged 43, of Lingfield Close, High Wycombe, was sentenced to a total of 12 years’ imprisonment, and will have to spend a further six years on licence, following a hearing at Amersham Crown Court today (29/9).
Taylor was convicted following a trial in June., He was found guilty by majority jury on one count each of; rape, sexual assault by penetration, and sexual assault.
He was found not guilty of a count of non-fatal strangulation.
In 2023, Taylor went to the address of a woman in Buckinghamshire. While there, he forced himself upon his victim, raping her and sexually assaulting her.
He then left and police were called. Taylor was arrested on the same day.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Nathan Devlin, said: “I am pleased that Taylor will spend a significant time in prison.
“He has never shown any remorse for his despicable actions, which profoundly affected the victim in this case.
“I would like to pay tribute to the victim and thank them for supporting our investigation which has now led to the rightful jailing of Taylor.
“I hope this conviction shows we are committed to tackling serious sexual offences and violence against women and girls, and we will support victims and bring offenders before the courts to face justice.
“There is information on accessing support and advice, as well as how to report, on our website.”
