Jonathan Lee Haynes
PublishedSummary
Jonathan Lee Haynes, 30, was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on 8 September 2011 to an indeterminate sentence with a minimum term of 11 years. Haynes had been found guilty of six counts of rape, two of kidnap, and two of attempted kidnap. The offences, which occurred in 2009 and 2010, involved three teenagers and two schoolgirls in Wiltshire and south Wales.
Judge Neil Ford QC imposed the indeterminate sentence for the protection of the public, noting that Haynes remained an extreme danger to young women. During the trial, it was heard that Haynes denied responsibility for the offences and displayed no remorse.
Additional allegations involving 11 child pornography offences were addressed by the Crown, which decided not to proceed with the prosecution; these charges remain unproven.
