A RAPE victim’s brave account of her attacker’s crimes has led him to being jailed for over 15 years.

In June last year, the woman attended her local police station to report 26-year-old David Nistor after she was assaulted.

She also disclosed that Nistor had raped her on previous occasions.

Nistor, of Heelis Street, was arrested and charged that same day but made no comment during interview.

He was remanded into custody throughout his legal proceedings.

Not willing to face responsibility, Nistor pleaded not guilty to seven counts of rape and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm when he appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on July 17.

He then later changed his plea for assault occasioning actual bodily harm to guilty on November 21.

Last Friday, he was found guilty of seven counts of rape by a jury following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.

He was jailed the same day for 15 years and eight months.

Detective Constable Rosie Allott, the officer in charge of the case, said: “The victim’s bravery in reporting Nistor’s disgusting crimes helped to ensure that justice was done.

“I am glad that Nistor has been jailed and will not be able to do further harm during his long years behind bars.

“Our officers acted quickly to arrest Nistor on the day that his offences were reported. I hope that this case encourages other victims of sexual offences to report to us.”
