A Hove man, who admitted to a series of sexual offences against an 18-year-old woman, also from Hove, has been sentenced.
Daniel Curtis, 39, of Goldstone Way pled guilty to three counts of rape, seven counts of sexual assault by touching and one count of sexual activity without consent after images were found on an electronic device.
He was sentenced to eight years in prison at Hove Crown Court last Friday, July 2.
He will be a registered sex offender indefinitely and was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order to last until further court order, severely restricting his access to women and communications devices.
Detective Constable Paul Candy of the Brighton and Hove Safeguarding Investigations Unit said;
"We began an investigation as soon is this report was received and the extent of Curtis's offending soon became clear.
"The evidence we presented gave him little option but to admit what had happened, which at least avoided the trauma for the victim of having to give evidence in court.
"We always follow up any such reports with a thorough investigation to establish the full circumstances and help seek justice for victims whenever possible.
"If you or anyone you know are victim of such offending, contact us in confidence on 101 and arrange to talk to experienced investigators.
"We can also arrange expert support and access to sources of further advice."
For further information on help available for victims of sexual offending see the Sussex Police website.
