A habitual Godalming Rapist offender, Charlie Walker, caught many times before, received a sentence of 12 and a half years in jail at Guildford Crown Court on Friday, September 5.
Charlie Walker, 33, born on June 10, 1991, from Godalming, was convicted of rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and controlling and coercive behaviour after a four-day trial.
The court was informed that over a span of three years, Walker perpetrated a sustained campaign of abuse and control over the survivor, culminating in a particularly distressing incident in which he assaulted and raped her while she was pregnant.
The inquiry into Walker by our Sexual Offences Investigation Team (SOIT) revealed more than 100 voicemails from Charlie Walker to the survivor, replete with abuse, threats, expletives, and insults. It was revealed that within a three-month span, he had placed over 1,200 calls to her, a significant number of which were aggressive and controlling.
Upon receipt of the report, Charlie Walker was promptly apprehended in June 2024. During the police interrogation, he refuted all allegations via a pre-prepared statement and subsequently maintained a stance of no comment throughout the proceedings.
During the thorough inquiry, investigators scrutinised medical records and found that the survivor had received multiple hospital treatments for injuries, including extensive bruises on her body. The prosecution against Charlie Walker had numerous persuasive testimonials from witnesses regarding his actions, which were essential in effectively illustrating the pattern and magnitude of his abuse.
Charlie Walker received a sentence of 12 years and six months’ jail, accompanied by a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and he will be registered on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
