Royal Navy Sailor, 24, Jailed for Raping 19-Year-Old After ‘Preying on Lone, Drunk Females’ in a Nightclub

A history-making Royal Navy sailor who met Princess Anne has been jailed for six years for raping a drunk 19-year-old woman whom he lured out of a nightclub.

Sebastine Kava Liliu, the first Solomon Islander to join the Royal Navy, raped his vulnerable victim in bushes just yards from a Portsmouth nightclub, leaving her in floods of tears.

Portsmouth Crown Court heard that the ‘predatory’ sailor spent two and a half hours scouting out the club on his own to identify ‘lone, drunk females. He bought his ‘particularly vulnerable’ victim a double tequila despite her already being extremely drunk and convinced her to leave the club with him in the early hours of February 11.
