A BRADFORD man has been locked up after admitting to raping a teenager.

Harry Webster, 20, was sentenced to three years and 10 months in a Young Offenders Institute at Bradford Crown Court yesterday, after admitting to one count of rape in court on 22 August.

The offence took place in 2020.

Webster was also given a 10-year restraining order and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life. 

Detective Inspector Claire Smith, of Bradford Safeguarding Unit, said: “We welcome the guilty plea from Webster and his sentence today. 

“I would like to praise the bravery and courage of the victim in coming forward and reporting this. 

“I hope this sentence will give his victim some comfort knowing he has admitted his crimes and has been jailed. 

“All sexual offences are treated with the upmost seriousness by Bradford Safeguarding Unit. Victims will always be treated in confidence and supported by specialist officers.”
