Man jailed for raping woman in Nuneaton

A man has been jailed for raping a woman in Nuneaton after meeting her on dating site.

Hodijah Samuels, 30, of Wappenbury Road, Coventry, has been sentenced to eight years and three months in jail for raping a woman in her 20s after meeting her on a dating site.

Warwickshire police said: "Samuels met his victim via a dating website in July 2019 and they went for a drink. They returned to the victim’s house where he raped her the following morning.

Samuels was found guilty of rape and jailed at Warwick Crown Court on Friday 30th October."

Detective Constable Steve Reading said: “This was a horrific attack on a young woman who was very clear she did not consent to having sex with Samuels.

“This has understandably been a traumatic experience for the victim and I would like to commend her for the bravery and courage she has shown in coming forward and reporting what happened. I hope this sentencing will give her some closure and help her to begin moving forward in her life.”
