    Andrew Pennington, 53 of no fixed address in Crowle, admitted the crimes and said in police interviews “I’ve been expecting this one day”.

    Police cold case teams used advances in DNA testing to track him down and he was arrested in November last year.

    In 1988 he attacked a 27-year-old woman in York pushing her into a building and raping her before running off.

    The investigation teams also linked him to three burglaries in Beverley in 1997 where he stole both women's and children’s underwear and other items.

    His victim gave this statement after the sentencing: "I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with re-investigating my case and to encourage anyone who has suffered in the way that I did to come forward."
