Aylesbury man found guilty of 'heinous' and 'sexually violent' rape

Aylesbury Crown Court

A man has been found guilty of raping a woman in her home in Aylesbury following a four-day trial at Aylesbury Crown Court.

Callum Leslie, aged 28, from Aylesbury, was found guilty by a unanimous jury verdict of perpetrating the assault in the early hours of 24th November 2017.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Justine Haw, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “After a very lengthy investigation starting in 2017, during which the victim has shown incredible courage and resilience, I am pleased that justice has been achieved with Leslie being convicted of this heinous sexually violent crime.

“At no point has he shown any remorse for his actions and he has caused on-going suffering for the victim through her having to stand in court giving intimate personal detail.

“I would like to thank the victim for her unwavering support and strength through the investigation and I hope that she can now move on with her life.”

A date for sentencing has not yet been set.
