A 58-year-old rapist from Folkestone has been locked up for repeatedly abusing a victim over several months. Lloyd Thomas faces justice after a string of horrific offences.
Lloyd Thomas Found Guilty of Multiple Sexual Offences
Lloyd Thomas, from Risborough Lane, was convicted on five counts: two rapes, three sexual assaults, and harassment. The attacks spanned a brutal three-month period before the victim bravely stepped forward in November 2024.
Quick Police Action Nets Arrest and Conviction
Kent Police launched a specialist investigation as soon as the abuse was reported. Thomas was arrested just three days later. Despite denying all charges, a jury at Canterbury Crown Court found him guilty.
Harsh Jail Term Given
On Thursday 20 November 2025, Thomas was sentenced to 10 years behind bars, followed by four years on licence. The sentence is intended to bring some closure to the victim.
Detective Constable Gemma Chadwick said: “Thomas is a dangerous sexual predator who subjected his victim to a campaign of dreadful abuse. I am pleased that the victim found the courage to come forward, so that we could investigate Thomas’ crimes and ensure that he was made to face the consequences of his actions. I hope the sentence that has been imposed will help to bring her a sense of closure.”
