Man sentenced to prison for rape - Slough

A man has been jailed after he was convicted of rape in Slough.

Travis Moore, aged 37, of Great West Road, Hounslow, was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Monday (6/7) to 12 years and nine months’ imprisonment. He will serve nine years and nine months in custody, with the remainder to be served on licence.

Moore was convicted by a unanimous jury verdict following a five-day trial at Reading Crown Court on 5 May this year of one count of rape.

The conviction relates to an offence that took place between 11.30pm on 1 November 2025 and 1am on 2 November 2025 in Baylis Park, Slough.

On that date, Thames Valley Police received a report from a teenage girl that she had been raped in the park by an unknown man.

Officers attended immediately and located Moore nearby. He was arrested on 2 November 2025, charged the following day and remanded into custody.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Laura Bevan, of East Berkshire CID, said: “Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to the victim in this case. Throughout the investigation and court process she showed immense courage, dignity and patience. Coming forward to report such a traumatic offence and then supporting a criminal investigation and trial takes considerable strength.

“Thanks to her bravery, a dangerous offender has been brought to justice and can no longer pose a risk to other women and girls.

“Violence against women and girls remains a priority for Thames Valley Police. We are committed to tackling these offences, supporting victims and pursuing offenders relentlessly.

“I hope this sentence reassures victims that they will be listened to, treated with respect and supported throughout the criminal justice process. We will always seek to bring to justice those who commit offences of this nature.”
