Farai Maumbe, 43, from Nightingale Avenue, Chertsey, was locked up for eight years following a sickening sexual assault in Berkshire. A unanimous jury at Reading Crown Court found him guilty of two counts of sexual assault by penetration, one count of rape, intentional strangulation, and an additional sexual assault charge after a five-day trial ending 12 December 2023.
