Brutal Assault After Night Out
Darrell Moore, 34, has been handed an extended prison sentence for a vicious rape attack on a woman he met during a night out in Brighton. The victim and Moore’s friend had met two girls, then went back to one girl’s home. While Moore’s friend went to a bedroom with one girl, Moore was left alone with the victim.

Prosecutor Thomas Cleeve told Hove Crown Court that Moore raped the woman twice and sexually assaulted her twice in the early hours of 15 May 2022. Moore denied the charges, but a jury found him guilty in October.
No Excuse, No Remorse
Moore’s barrister claimed a sensory processing disorder caused social difficulties, but Judge David Rennie slammed the defence. “Moore has no excuse, no mitigation whatsoever, and showed no remorse,” the judge said. Moore was 30 at the time of the attack.
