A rapist who attacked a teenage girl after a student party in Liverpool has been jailed for eight years.
Liam Andrew Evans preyed on his 17-year-old victim in the early hours of the morning on October 29 last year.
The 22-year-old raped her after a party at the Atlantic Point Village student accommodation in Leeds Street near the city centre.
The flats were cordoned off after the general manager of the student accommodation raised the alarm and police tracked down and arrested Evans the same day.
Evans, of Steventon Road, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, pleaded guilty to rape and was jailed at Shrewsbury Crown Court today.
DC Claire McDonald said: “This was a particularly nasty attack on a young woman.
“Rape is a very personal crime, which many victims, understandably, struggle to come to terms with and it can have a devastating effect for the rest of their lives.
“We have a dedicated and specialist rape investigation team and the officers are trained to deal sensitively with victims and provide them with support.
“If anybody else is out there suffering in silence I want you to know that there is help and support available to you, both from Merseyside Police, where we have specially trained officers who will listen to you and treat you with sensitivity and compassion, and from reliable and trusted support groups who will support you from your initial report and for as long as you need.”
