Detective praises victim’s courage
Detective Constable Adam Conibeere, who led the investigation, said: “Wynter is an extreme sexual deviant who raped a woman while she was asleep or unconscious. I want to praise the victim-survivor for her incredible strength and heroism throughout the investigation and court process. I hope this outcome brings her some comfort and closure as she moves on with her life.”
DC Conibeere added the victim bravely came forward after lengthy consideration to stop Wynter harming anyone else.

The Metropolitan Police stressed that combating violence against women and girls is a top priority. They promised to keep removing dangerous offenders from London’s streets while supporting victims at every stage.
