A man has been jailed for five years after raping a woman 20 years ago.

Robert Longhorn, 57, formerly of Hoe View Road in Cropwell Bishop, carried out the attack in Brighton in 1998.

Longhorn was sentenced on Friday (March 16) following a five day trial at Nottingham Crown Court.

DC Dan Akehurst said: “Longhorn carried out a brutal attack on his victim and it’s something she has had to live with for a long time.

“We will do everything in our power to bring sexual offenders to justice, no matter how much time has passed.

“I hope that this outcome gives the victim in this case some closure.”

Longhorn will also sign the sex offender register for life.
