A rapist asked if he could call his mother and father as police officers arrested him.

In 2024, Jack-Leland Webster, of Cedar Road, Earl Shilton, Leicester, had accused the victim of cheating with her ex-boyfriend, and as she attempted to exit the flat, he blocked the doorways to prevent her from leaving.

Webster, previously Jack Malone, got on top of the victim and strangled her before sexually assaulting her.

While on bail, he purchased numerous fake social media accounts to follow and contact the victim, as well as her family and her friends, in breach of his no-contact conditions.

Webster was found guilty of rape and strangulation on Wednesday, 8 April, at Manchester Crown Court. He pleaded guilty to stalking the victim at a previous hearing.

He was sentenced to nine years and five months in jail.
