Shaun Daniels

Shaun Daniels, 38, was sentenced to 10 years and six months imprisonment following a trial in which he was found guilty of two counts of rape, assault by beating, and actual bodily harm. Daniels had previously entered a guilty plea to a charge of criminal damage to property valued at less than £5,000.

The offences occurred on 22 January 2026, when Daniels raped and assaulted a victim at an address in Stoke-on-Trent. Two days later, he committed a further assault on the victim at Fenton Park, which was reported to Staffordshire Police by witnesses.

In addition to the custodial sentence, Daniels has been placed on the sex offenders register and is subject to an indefinite restraining order intended to protect the victim.
