Five year jail sentence for rapist

A CATCLIFFE man has been caged for five years after pleading guilty to rape.

Mark Philip Unwin (36) was jailed at Sheffield Crown Court last Friday after admitting one count of rape at a previous hearing.

There he confessed to attacking a woman on May 28.

Rape investigator PC Nicola Milner said: “As this case shows, South Yorkshire Police takes all reports of rape extremely seriously and will work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice.

“We have specially-trained officers in place who work with victims from the moment a rape is reported, gathering every piece of evidence in order to secure a conviction.”

She added: “I hope the fact that Unwin pleaded guilty brings some small shred of comfort to the victim in this case, as she was spared the further trauma of going through a Crown court trial.”
