Jury Delivers Justice: Nistor Jailed for 15 Years
Nistor, 26, originally denied charges including seven counts of rape and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm when he first appeared at Sheffield Crown Court in July.
But in November, he pleaded guilty to the assault charge. On 16 January, the jury found him guilty of all seven rape charges. The judge slammed him with a 15-year, eight-month prison sentence.
Nistor, from Heelis Street, Barnsley, now faces a long stretch behind bars for his horrific crimes.
