DANGER – Geoffrey Holyoake, who lived in Frome, Somerset, when he was imprisoned for 26 years, is out of prison and has NO RESTRICTIONS in place to monitor his movements and prevent re-offending.
In 2004, the Offender Database reported that Geoffrey Holyoake, the Frome Transexual Rapist and Sex Offender, had been found guilty of drugging three women and subjecting them to a series of sexual assaults inside his padlocked home.
Bristol Crown Court heard Geoffrey Holyoake, then 53, of Vllis Road, Frome, Somerset, was a drug dealer who picked out women he met in a pub in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
During the three-week trial, the court heard how Geoffrey Holyoake met the women at Trowbridge pubs, including The Malthouse, formerly known as Zak’s.
The jury was told how Holyoake sedated the women with drugs and then took them back to his home.
Each woman said during the ordeals, where they were dressed up while drugged, that they felt “incapacitated in a way never experienced before” by the drugs given to them.
One said she was given a coffee at Holyoake’s house, which left her feeling “extremely strange”.
Geoffrey Holyoake’s house was padlocked shut, and he used strong glue to reinforce the locks.
Geoffrey Holyoake was described as “a hazardous man” by Judge Carol Hagen.
He dressed one victim as a schoolgirl and abused her in a room resembling a doctor’s surgery, the court heard.
One survivor of Geoffrey Holyoake’s, living in Trowbridge, described her ordeal, describing how Holyoake, dressed in women’s underwear, assaulted his victims in a room decorated like a doctor’s surgery.
The woman said the injuries she suffered were so bad that she needed surgery.
“The doctor said that to suffer the injuries I did, it must have been torture.”
“When he was rubbing a knife over me, I thought that he was building himself up to finish me off.”
“I was absolutely terrified. At one point, I thought there was no way I was getting out of here alive.”
