Sick rapist tortured woman after she reported him to cops for 'child abuse images'

A man who knifed a woman through the throat, tried to suffocate her and raped her after she reported him to the police for having 'child porn images' has been put behind bars.

Luke Ward, aged 25, turned up at the victim's house on August 18, 2021, before barging his way in and subjecting her to 35 hours as a prisoner in her own home in a case described by the judge as as "sustained, sadistic and violent".

Sick Ward, from Bilston, Wolverhampton, tried to kill her in various ways, stabbing her through the neck, then suffocating her with a pillow, before throttling her, then giving her the choice of three ways to die, Birmingham Live reports.
