Convicted Rapist Jailed For 16 Years In UK
Andrew Williams, who is originally from Bermuda, was jailed for 16 years after being convicted of rape and causing grievous bodily harm in the UK, according to the Hackney Gazette.
The 29 year old was ordered to serve two-thirds of his sentence in custody and will serve an extended license period of five years following his release.
The Hackney Gazette reports that Williams lured the woman to his mother’s home in Upper Clapton and trapped her in his bedroom for 3 days, where he hacked off her hair with scissors and repeatedly beat her with a chair leg.
“He cut her clothes from her body, chopped them into small pieces and beat her around the face with her own belt buckle while his mother and sister were in adjoining rooms,” the report said.
“When he finally allowed her to go on 2 February, she had been so severely beaten that her own sister didn’t recognise her.”
Williams, who has previous convictions for assaulting a police officer and possession of drugs, repeatedly interrupted the Court hearing, yelling ‘you’re just trying to make me look bad’ and shouting ‘I’ll beat it on appeal’.
A statement from the UK Metropolitan Police said, “Williams is subject to a Sexual Prevention Order and has also been placed on the Sex Offender Register for life. He had been found guilty of two offences at an earlier hearing on Friday, 1 August at the same court.
“The victim, a 42-year-old woman was in a relationship with Williams for about a month when he became violent towards her.
“Between 31 January and 2 February 2014 Williams subjected the victim to repeated and sustained violent assaults, ripping and cutting her clothes. Through fear, the victim had sex with Williams, afraid of what would happen if she didn’t.
“The victim was eventually able to escape and call police. Williams was subsequently arrested on Sunday, 2 February in Stoke Newington.”
Detective Constable Kevin Christou, from Hackney’s Community Safety Unit and investigating officer, said: “Andrew Williams is a dangerous individual and the sentence reflects the seriousness of his offending.
“Officers from Hackney Community Safety Unit continue to support the victim and I am hopeful the sentencing of Williams will allow some closure and help her to move forward to rebuild her life.
“The length of the sentence demonstrates that police and the courts take domestic abuse seriously; victims of abuse will be given all possible support by the MPS.”

To bad he can’t be Castrated before his release. Sick
Don’t drop de soap.
Too bad you can’t be castrated for your grammar! LOL!
Wow I thought I was the only one who thinks that sex offenders should be castrated. I completely agree!!
HIS MOTHER AND SISTER were in adjoining rooms???? What type of sick people are these that they didn’t come running to rescue the woman the second they thought something was up. All three of them should go to jail for 16 years in the same cell no less. Sick sick sick
:/ mother and sister in the adjoining room O_O!!! something isnt right
To bad he cant be sent back to Bermuda after serving his sentence, or can he?
Why would we want him here? So they he can get out of prison after 2 years?
Are you retarded?
Some of Bermuda’s finest exports!
At least we don’t have to pay to house and feed him for the next 16 years.
lol @ “Bermuda’s finest exports”. Win for Bermuda. Good job guys good job
he’ll be paroled and sent back here….I wonder if we’ll know the date of his return ;-(
If he is considered a UK citizen then he cant be deported. However, if he returns to Bermuda then his conviction will not be on his record here and since there is no sex offender’s registry here, he will be regular citizen.
Any relation to Justise Smith?
Just a thought…Maybe the Mother and Sister were also victims and were too frightened to report it! This guy is a sick individual and perhaps beat them too!!??
he will get taken care of inside by other inmates over in the UK,unlike this useless place we have here, the inmates wont bother him because he is one of their own!
Nasty fellow!
This is a very sad story. People will automatically comment because they believe that they have heard the facts and the individual is guilty. BUT, Let me say that you have not heard all of the facts and you do not know the age of the mother and sister. so before you go flying off like you know everything YOU DO NOT and only God can judge. She admitted that she was in a relationship with him. They have not revealed all of the circumstances in this case. So stop Judging cause you do not know. Young man use this time to change your LIFE!!!! You are better than this!!!!!!!!
I don’t think anybody is assuming they know everything; but once the guy has been found guilty of rape and GBH, it stands to reason that observers will have judgements on the person’s character.
What a disgusting creature. Some people have no place on this Earth.
The length of the sentence demonstrates that police and the courts take domestic abuse seriously; victims of abuse will be given all possible support by the MPS.Bermudas systems needs to wake up.js
this guy looks like ah rapist.
