Rapist jailed after posing as 'helpful stranger'

Police said Frazer Giscombe had previous convictions for assault

A rapist has been jailed after police said he had initially posed as a "helpful stranger" to his victims.

Frazer Giscombe was driving through Nottingham city centre when he pulled over and offered two teenage girls a lift.

He took them home, and they drank alcohol before he raped them on 5 August 2022.

Giscombe, of Perry Road in Basford, Nottingham, was found guilty of two counts of rape and was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday.

He received a 16-year extended sentence, of which he will spend 12 years in custody and the remainder on licence.

Nottinghamshire Police said Giscombe had forced himself on to one of the girls and targeted the second as she lay unconscious on his bed.

Det Con Toby Marsh said Giscombe had "initially posed as a helpful stranger".

"This was frankly predatory behaviour, and I am pleased Giscombe has now received a very substantial jail sentence," he added.
