Double Rapist from Bradford on Avon Must Serve Full Sentence After Failed Appeal

Oliver Mullen, a 38-year-old double rapist from Bradford on Avon, has been ordered to serve his full prison sentence after his appeal was thrown out. A Bristol Crown Court jury found him guilty of attacking two women in separate incidents.

Shocking Attacks in Bristol and Bath

Mullen was convicted of raping a woman unable to consent at a property off Atchley Street, Bristol, on 21 May 2021. The court also heard how he raped another woman in Ashley Avenue, Bath, on 10 April 2016.

One victim’s heart-wrenching statement was read during sentencing:

“Daily, I feel fear, shame, anger, isolation and distrust. He watched me struggle to breathe and then he raped me. Today, I can breathe again. I find it difficult to trust new people, especially men, and this has deeply affected my ability to form meaningful relationships. The trauma I carry with me has shaped my world in ways I cannot fully express.”

Appeal Rejected at the Royal Courts of Justice

Mullen was sentenced to 14 years behind bars plus four years on extended licence. However, he launched an appeal against his conviction and sentence.
