Lamont Geddes, a 24-year-old from Wolverhampton, has been sentenced to 19 and a half years in prison for the rape and assault of a woman, following a period of mental and physical control, sexual abuse, and coercive behavior.
Over several years, Geddes exercised control over the victim’s life, subjecting her to various forms of abuse. The survivor reported threats to her life, including threats of arson. The turning point came on August 11 last year when, after a particularly distressing incident, she bravely flagged down a passing police car and disclosed the horrific experiences she endured over the years.
