A man has been jailed for 13 years after raping a woman he met in a nightclub in Kingston.

Taulant Krasniqi, 25 was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday April 5.

On January 25 Krasniqi pleaded guilty to rape, voyeurism and theft at the same court.

The incidents took place on Sunday November 12, 2017.

Krasniqi went to a nightclub in Kingston where he approached a woman in her 20s on the dancefloor.

The woman went home with Krasniqi but went to sleep in her bedroom. She woke briefly to find him sitting at the foot of her bed with her phone in his hand, but when she awoke he was gone.

It was only when one o the woman's friends contacted her later that day to say she had been sent a video on Snapchat from an unknown person showing the woman lying naked in bed with an empty condom wrapper.

Krasniqi was arrested after the woman filed a report and his phone was seized where videos were found showing Krasniqi raping the woman.

It was clear woman was not engaging, demonstrating she was not in a position to consent.

Messages were also found in his phone showing he had stated he had taken items from the room.

Detective Inspector Julian Crabb said: "Krasniqi knew that the woman he had gone home with was in no position to consent to sexual activity yet he took advantage of this situation and raped her.

"He also filmed to woman without her knowledge and shared this on social media. His behaviour is truly abhorrent and I am pleased that he has been handed a lengthy prison sentence which reflects the gravity of his offending.

"I would also like to commend the woman who Krasniqi attacked – she has shown immense courage to report this to police and support this investigation and I hope this sentencing allows her the opportunity to begin to move on with her life.

"Anyone who reports a sexual offence to police will be offered the support of a specially trained officer to help them through the investigative process – in this case, PC Sheena Woodward worked tirelessly and has been invaluable in helping to secure this conviction."
