A man who raped a 16-year-old girl in an alleyway off the High Street in Gosport has been jailed today (2 December 2022) at Portsmouth Crown Court.
Martin Butler, aged 43, was found guilty of rape and assault by penetration by a unanimous jury after a trial heard at the same court in October this year.
He was sentenced to nine years in jail with an additional five years on extended licence. Butler was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will register as a sex offender for life.
