Five Years For Rapist

A Croydon rapist is starting a five-year sentence after he was convicted by a jury of the offence.

Sean Leroy Clarke, 36, (pictured) of Sundridge Road, Addiscombe denied the charge throughout and forced the victim to give evidence of her ordeal.

Clarke was found guilty at Croydon Crown Court of raping the woman at a flat in Sanderstead Road, Sanderstead on June 28, last year.

He was told he will have to serve half of the sentence in custody before he is relased on licence.

Clarke was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register.
