A man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for a brutal sexual assault on a lone female in Exeter. Cosmin-Nicolae Vasioiu, aged 47, was found guilty of rape following a trial in May. The sentencing took place yesterday at Exeter Crown Court.
Vasioiu, originally from Romania but residing in Exeter at the time of the attack, was also ordered to serve an additional five years on an extended licence. His conviction was based on compelling DNA, phone, and CCTV evidence despite his denial of the offence.
