A man has been handed an eight-year prison sentence for the rape of an unconscious woman in Hackney, after taking advantage of her vulnerable state due to a medical condition. Mark Anderson, convicted of rape, faced sentencing on Friday for his reprehensible actions against the victim.

The incident occurred on August 6 last year, at Anderson’s residence on Shafton Road, Hackney, East London. The victim, whose identity remains anonymous due to the nature of the crime, experienced a seizure during her time with Anderson. In her incapacitated state, she was unable to consent to any sexual activity.
