A man has been jailed for 15 years for raping a woman in a Basildon underpass.
Nathan Morgan, 23, of no fixed address, was jailed at Basildon Crown Court today, Friday, November 14 after previously admitting offences of rape and assault relating to an attack on a 23-year-old woman in July.
The rape happened in an underpass near Broadmayne on Friday, July 18, at around 11.30pm.
Detective Inspector Richard Sage, of the Sexual Offences Investigation Team, said: "This was a horrendous attack on a lone woman as she walked home from a night out with friends. She has been receiving support and hopefully will be able to recover from the traumatic experience.”
He added: "We would like to thank all the members of the public who came forward with information to help find the man responsible.”
