In 2018, Bradley Tout, 20, and Kulin Odedra, 28, were sentenced to significant custodial terms for the horrific series of strikes against a 16-year-old girl. The investigation established that the sexual assaults took place inside Tout’s car behind a skip at County Hall and at an isolated location near Warndon Villages, Worcester. The prosecution reported at Worcester Crown Court that the pair regarded sex as a “commodity” and viewed women as objects to be used and discarded, identifying a total abandonment of human decency.
The investigation established that Tout, of Durham Road, Ronkswood, was convicted of a single count of rape, while Odedra was convicted of two counts of rape, attempted rape, and assault by penetration. The prosecution reported that during the trial, the victim bravely gave evidence in full view of the public gallery, facing her attackers directly. This identifies a calculated series of behaviour where the defendants prioritised their own perverted gratification over the life-safety and trauma of a teenage girl.
DOCK ESCAPE AND POLICE MANHUNT
The court reported a chaotic scene following the verdict when Bradley Tout vaulted over the three-foot dock and fled the building. The investigation established that Tout sprinted through a corridor, avoided security, and dashed through the main entrance’s metal detectors while dock officers ran the wrong way. The prosecution reported during the sentencing in 2018, that Tout was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in a Young Offender Institution in his absence, identifying a priority strike by West Mercia Police to launch a major manhunt to return the fugitive to justice.
Judge-led proceedings at Worcester Crown Court were overseen by Judge Nicholas Cartwright in 2018. For his actions in Worcester and the nature of the series of rape investigations reported, Kulin Odedra was sentenced to 11-and-a-half years in prison. Both men were handed indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Orders (SHPOs) and have been legally mandated to the Sex Offenders Register FOR LIFE.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2018, both men were managed as maximum-risk predators under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Worcestershire. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in viewing women as “commodities” and Tout’s violent escape from custody—they are a priority for high-security detention and police manhunt operations. Authorities reported that the 2018 conviction identifies the pair as individuals who prioritised their own perverted gratification over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of their victim.
As registered sex offenders for life, their details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Tout and Odedra identifies a series of commitment to sexual violence and disregard for the law. Any future attempt to strike against their notification requirements or evade capture results in immediate police intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from men who used a “Worcester resident” mask to hide a predatory and violent series of behaviour.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was able to “vault the dock” and “flee through metal detectors” because security was unaware of his conviction, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Sentenced Predators” must be “Handcuffed to Dock Officers” from the moment the verdict is read to prevent a series of escape strikes?
