Rapist jailed for attacks on woman he had just met

Adrian Lee subjected the woman to both verbal and physical abuse

A man who raped, controlled and was violent towards a woman he met just days earlier has been jailed.

Adrian Lee – also known as Adrian Tiene - met the woman in 2022 and quickly moved into her house, according to Leicestershire Police.

He told her who she could meet, began verbally abusing her, taking drugs and then attacking her.

Lee was convicted of multiple offences after a trial and on Wednesday he was jailed for a total of 22 years.

After moving his belongings into the woman's home, Lee started to tell her she could not see her friends, police said.

The 29-year-old also demanded to know who she was messaging, subjected her to verbal and racial abuse and then raped her.

Key evidence

Over the following days, officers said, he took cannabis and cocaine, told her what to cook, forced her to stay in the same room as him and demanded he drove on a trip despite not being qualified.

He then became physically violent and the woman ran to a friend's house and the police were called.

Lee, of HMP Lincoln, was arrested, interviewed and charged.

In September, following a trial at Leicester Crown Court, Lee was found guilty of three counts of raping a woman aged 16 or over, one count of assaulting a female 13 or over by penetration with part of a body/a thing, one count of sexual assault on a female and one count of engaging in controlling/coercive behaviour in an intimate/family relationship.

He will also be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, a restraining order and will sign the Sex Offenders' Register.

Det Sgt Sarah Jones said: "First and foremost, I must commend the victim in this case for her bravery in reliving her ordeal in front of a jury.

"Her evidence was key in securing Lee's conviction and I hope today's outcome provides her with a degree of relief and closure."
