Rapist gives ‘no comment’ interview to police

Liam Stimpson, who has been jailed for 15 years for raping a homeless woman, refused to respond when questioned by police about the attack.

Stimpson, from Llanrumney, Cardiff, repeatedly said “no comment” when officers asked him about the incident, which took place in Cardiff city centre in December.

During sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court, Judge Jeremy Jenkins said the attack was “gratuitous, repeated and sustained violence against a woman in no position to defend”.

“You completely humiliated her – you took the last ounce of dignity from her,” the judge said, describing the attack as “bordering on sadistic”.
