A man from Bristol has been jailed for a series of sexual assaults during the 1980s and 1990s. Leroy Hall, of Chaplin Road in Easton, was jailed at Bristol Crown Court on Friday, January 20, after being found guilty of crimes he committed.
A five-day trial heard that during the late 1980s, a girl, who was 17 at the time, climbed into Hall's car before he drove the victim to the Eastville neighbourhood of the city and raped her. When she saw a newspaper article with a picture of Hall, she recognised him as the man who had sexually assaulted her, and she reported what had happened to police in 2017.
He also committed further crimes against a second person in the mid-1990s, with Hall being found guilty on one count of false imprisonment and one of indecent assault. Hall offered the woman, who was in her 20s at the time, a ride in Stoke Croft, but instead of taking her where she wanted to go, he drove her about Bristol before indecently assaulting her.
