In 2022, Louis Williams, a Sheffield Rapist Sex Offender, was sentenced to 18 years in prison after repeatedly beating, raping and threatening to kill his victim for more than 16 years.
Louis Williams, then 39, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court yesterday after it was heard he had subjected the woman to ongoing abuse since meeting her in 2002.
Det Sgt Jack Smith, who led the investigation, said: “The victim suffered years of horrific abuse at the hands of Williams, and his actions led to this woman feeling scared, alone, and in fear of her life for years.”
After successfully attaining a restraining order against Williams in 2017, his violent pursuit continued. In November 2018, Williams was arrested and later charged with indecent assault and rape.
On 29 July this year, Williams was found guilty of multiple counts of rape, one count of indecent assault, 10 counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, five counts of threats to kill and one count of coercive and controlling behaviour.
