In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Oliver Maddocks, 39, was jailed for 12 years for the repeated rape and sexual exploitation of a woman. On appearing at Chesterfield Magistrates’ Court, sitting as a crown court, in March 2026, the defendant, formerly of Mountford Avenue, Wirksworth, was sentenced for a series of “vile” and “shameful” offences committed during the 2010s and 2020s. It was reported that Maddocks was branded as “dangerous” after a jury convicted him of two counts of rape, sexual assault, and voyeurism.
The investigation established the predatory and defiant nature of Maddocks’ behaviour. Derbyshire Police reported that upon his arrest, Maddocks initially denied the rapes before refusing to answer any further questions. The prosecution reported that he maintained a “no comment” stance throughout his interviews and denied all charges after being formally charged, forcing his victim to endure a trial to secure justice for the “depraved” attacks.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Maddocks’ “warped” activities included the illicit recording of the victim and the possession of illegal drugs. Derbyshire Police uncovered evidence of his voyeurism alongside quantities of cocaine and cannabis at the time of the inquiry. The investigation established that the sexual violence occurred over a prolonged period, leaving the survivor with significant trauma and necessitating the implementation of lifelong protection measures.
The Sentencing Judge noted that Maddocks posed a significant risk to the public and acted with a total lack of remorse. For his actions in Wirksworth, he was handed a 12-year custodial term. The judge noted the “disgusting” nature of his persistent denials and imposed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) with stringent conditions, including the requirement for Maddocks to notify police of any intimate relationship and to surrender any electronic device for immediate examination upon request.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Maddocks is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by the police and the National Probation Service in Derbyshire. Due to the nature of his conduct in Wirksworth, which involved the serial rape of a woman and the use of technology for sexual exploitation, his management is subject to the highest level of scrutiny. Authorities state that his life-long inclusion on the Sex Offenders Register and his strict SHPO are essential tools to ensure he is subject to unannounced residency checks and digital audits upon his eventual release from his 12-year sentence.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Maddocks must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of sexual violence and “unfeeling” behaviour in Derbyshire necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to conceal an intimate relationship, withhold electronic devices, or engage in inappropriate behaviour in Wirksworth or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
