A
rapist, who enticed his victim to a hotel on the promise of seeing
'The Saturdays' in concert - plying her with drink and a mystery pill
– has been locked-up for eleven years.
Lloyd
Phillips, 48, of Portland Street, Southampton, Hampshire gave the 24
year-old woman a can of super-strength lager during the car journey,
plus the pill and bag of powder he said was for the concert.
She
later told police things became “hazy” and she suffered
hallucinogenic effects in the vehicle, suffering a fit, requiring
Phillips to need a wheelchair to transport her to a north-west London
hotel room.
Police
eventually traced the Wembley hotel, where the defendant took the
victim on December 16, 2011, from vague details she was able to
recall.
Phillips
picked her up from her Southampton home and encouraged her to consume
the can of 'Crunk' during the journey.
She
recalled parts of the trip and her next memory was waking up in the
hotel room twelve hours later, feeling unwell and suffering injuries.
Phillips
told her they did not go to the concert and instead had consensual
sex.
She
later visited a Hampshire hospital and her complaint was passed onto
the Metropolitan Police's Sapphire Command
Detective
Inspector Jodie Tuff said: "Phillips is clearly a sexual
predator who preyed on a vulnerable female, encouraging her to drink
alcohol to the point where she was incapacitated before carrying out
a sustained sexual attack on her.
“It
is highly likely he has committed further offences therefore I would
ask anyone with information or who wishes to report an offence to
contact 020 8733 3773"
At
Harrow Crown Court Phillips was convicted of two counts of
rape;
four counts of assault by penetration and one count of sexual
assault.
