A man who raped a sleeping teenager in 2019 has been jailed.

Jarrett Good, 22, from near Bicester, had denied raping the woman – then a girl in her teens – on the morning of December 29, 2019.

But jurors at Oxford Crown Court found him guilty of the single rape charge this week. Judge Michael Gledhill KC sentenced him to 42 months, or three-and-a-half years, in jail on Thursday (July 6).

Welcoming the jail sentence, DC Sam Hunter of Thames Valley Police said: “I would like to commend the bravery of the victim in coming forward, as well as the investigation which was carried out. Good has been brought to justice for his crime.

“I hope that this case demonstrates to other people who may have been the victim of such offending that it is never too late to come forward and talk to the police.

“We will listen to you, investigate and do everything that we can to ensure criminals like Good are brought to justice.”

Good, of Murcott Road, Upper Arncott, will remain on the sex offender register for life.
