A man who raped a woman in Datchet has been jailed for 13 years. Kapil Dogra, 35, of High Street, Addlestone, Surrey showed 'no remorse' for his actions over the five-day trial at Reading Crown Court, in which he was convicted by an unanimous verdict.
Detective Constable Sara Harrison, of Maidenhead Police said: "At no point during the trial did Dogra show any remorse for the terrible ordeal he put his victim through, which meant the victim had to face her attacker in court.
"The victim has been extremely brave throughout this process and I commend her for standing up to her attacker, and I hope his sentence will help her move on."
Dogra attacked his victim, an 18-year-old woman, on April 12, shortly after she had left Datchet Railway Station.
The victim was on the phone with her partner at the time of the attack. Her boyfriend heard the initial moment Dogra launched the attack and the panic in his girlfriend's voice. As she pleaded for him to call the police, the phone went dead. Dogra grabbed her, switched off her phone, and threatened to stab her. He then dragged her to a section of wooded land beside the junction of Major's Farm Road and Ditton Road, where he then raped and sexually assaulted her.
Dogra was arrested six days later, on April 18, and charged the following day.
Dogra was found guilty of one count of rape, two counts of assault of a female by penetration, and one count of causing a female to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity. Dogra admitted in court that he had come to Datchet to buy class-A drugs.
Dogra was jailed at his sentencing earlier this month. He will be on licence for two years after his release, and will have to sign the Sexual Offenders Register.
