A care assistant from Worthing has been jailed for 12 years for the rape of a young woman. Police said David Jani, 45, of Shelley Road in the town, was sentenced after being convicted raping the 25-year-old victim in August last year. Officers said Jani was given a custodial sentence of 12 years, along with a further three years on licence after his release. Following the sentencing, the victim said: "I now have an incredibly long way to go mentally to rebuild my life, as well as my future." DC Emily Turner said: "We are really glad that the victim has now seen justice done. "She supported our investigation throughout and gave her evidence in court, facing cross-examination. "This case shows once again how we will always support victims and seek to find the evidence to prosecute those who offend against them." Jani was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) to last indefinitely, and will be a registered sex offender for life.
