A 31-year-old man has been jailed after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two females.

Liam Carter, 31, of Netherfield, Milton Keynes, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years behind bars for one count each of sexual assault on a female and assault on a female, 13 and over by penetration.

He was sentenced on Thursday, September 5 at Reading Crown Court.

He was previously found guilty, by a unanimous jury, of the offences at the same court on Thursday, July 18 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 investigating them thoroughly, listening to and supporting victims, and bringing offenders to justice.

“If you are a victim, or suspect someone 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.”
