VIDEO: He spiked women's drinks
A chef who attacked nine women over a 20 month period is now a convicted rapist beginning a 24-year prison sentence.
Tom Wade-Allison, who is now 25, of Martock, Somerset, assaulted five women in Honiton and Somerset between March 2016 and November 2017.
On Thursday, the past caught up with him when he appeared at Exeter Crown Court for sentencing after being found guilty of nine rapes, one attempted rape, threes assaults and one sexual assault.
Judge Timothy Rose said he remains "a danger to women" and had expressed "no remorse."
Wade-Allison's victims were aged between 17 and 20. They were attacked at sleepovers or after parties. Some had drinks spiked. The first four did not come forward until the fifth made a complaint against him and they learned police were investigating.
He will be placed on the sex offenders' register for life when he is released, which won't be before he has served at least two-thirds of his sentence.
