The Chester Chronicle
|June 12, 2025
A MAN from Chester has been jailed after he was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two women while they slept.
-
Trevor Rowlands, known as Joe Rowlands, appeared at Chester Crown Court where he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The 33-year-old of Saddlery Way, Chester had earlier been found guilty of two counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault by penetration and one count of voyeurism.
In addition to his prison sentence, he has also been ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
The court heard the first incident occurred in August 2018 when Rowlands raped a woman while she slept at his home in Chester, despite her previously telling him that she didn't want to sleep with him.
The victim initially chose not to report the incident.
