A DELIVERY driver has been jailed for 16 years for raping two women.

Andrew Saggers, 41, of East Albany Road, Seaford, raped a woman in her late twenties at an address near Polegate in December 2006, and a woman in her late thirties at an address in Eastbourne in May.

Police arrested Saggers after the victim reported the May 2014 attack, and traced the 2006 victim, who had not reported the attack to police, while Saggers was on remand.

Detective Constable Lisa Wells, of the East Sussex Specialist Investigation Unit, said: “With her support we were able to gather evidence that enabled us to charge him with that crime too.

"Both women were very supportive of the prosecution, and gave evidence at the trial. This sentencing sends out the clear message that we will follow up all such allegations and wherever possible bring vicious offenders like this to justice, no matter how long ago their crimes occurred."
