Swindon man jailed for rape after footage found on phone

Carl Wallis was jailed for 10-and-a-half-years at Swindon Crown Court

A man has been jailed for raping a woman while she was passed out, leaving her feeling "dirty and humiliated".

His victim only found out about what had happened six years later, after seeing pictures and videos of the incident on a phone.

Carl Wallis, 38, of Brookdene in Swindon, was jailed for 10-and-a-half-years at Swindon Crown Court earlier.

He will be listed on the sex offenders register for life and given a restraining order.

Wallis was found guilty of rape at a three-day trial in December.

'I felt sick'

In a statement to the court, his victim said: "The day I found the video and pictures on the mobile phone... I was in total shock.

"I did not know what to think or feel, I felt completely numb.

"I could not believe what I had just seen. I felt sick. I feel dirty and humiliated... I will never be free from the monster."

Det Con Anna McCormac from Wiltshire Police said she wanted to thank the victim for her "incredible bravery".

"Every sexual assault has a huge impact on victims.

"In this incident the victim discovered the offence had taken place when she was at her most vulnerable.

"I'd like to thank her for her incredible bravery by reporting the offence and giving evidence during this trial.

"Without her continued assistance, the outcome would not have been possible.
