Vile rapist assaulted sleeping woman twice then told colleague 'she made me do it'

A vile rapist who attacked a woman while she was sleeping twice told her he had 'used her' while she was asleep and blamed her for his actions in a conversation with colleagues.

Ashley Iddon, 30, raped the victim on two separate occasions between 2013 and 2019, telling her he wanted to 'exercise control' over her. Sentencing, Judge Heather Lloyd told Iddon that he 'still seems to think what you did in raping her was acceptable'.

He admitted his crimes and pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, but shook his head in the dock as he was sentenced to 11 years in custody at Preston Crown Court. Judge Lloyd said she considered Iddon to be a 'dangerous offender' who posed a significant risk to women in the future, reports LancsLive.
