Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed for sexual assault in Bletchley.

Liam Carter, aged 31, of Beadlemead in Netherfield, Milton Keynes, has been sentenced to six years and six months in prison for one count of sexual assault on a female and one count of assault on a female, 13 and over by penetration, at Reading Crown Court.

He was previously found guilty, by a unanimous jury, of the offences at the same court on Thursday following a four-day trial.

Between January and February 2022, Carter entered the home of a woman despite her telling him numerous times that he was not welcome.

Whilst in her home, he subjected her to two serious sexual assaults.

Carter was arrested on 1 February 2022 and charged on 24 March 2023.

Detective Constable Lisa Bartram said: “It is a top priority of Thames Valley Police to tackle violence against women and girls in all its forms, and I hope that this sentencing sends the message to offenders, such as Carter, that this behaviour will not be tolerated.”

“This was an extremely lengthy investigation but, thankfully, cases such as this are exceedingly rare and we remain resolutely committed to investigate them thoroughly, listen to and support victims, and bring offenders to justice.

“If you are a victim, or suspect some is a victim of crime, please contact Thames Valley Police.

“We have specially trained officers who will always listen and support you.

“You can contact us via our website, or by calling 101, or by visiting a police station.”
