Richard Kemp, 57, was sentenced to five years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman who visited to check on his welfare.

Richard Kemp, 57, of no fixed abode in the Huntingdon area, was sentenced to five years in prison at Peterborough Crown Court on 8 October after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault.

Kemp attacked the victim on 9 May 2023 when she visited to check on his welfare. While drunk, he became verbally abusive towards her. When she attempted to leave, he grabbed her from behind, pulled her hair and sexually assaulted her. He then stopped and told her he had forgotten who he was attacking. When the victim tried to leave again, Kemp subjected her to a second sexual assault, but she managed to flee to a friend's home.

Afterwards, Kemp messaged the woman to apologise but said he had 'enjoyed' it. The following day he sent another message stating there was 'no time limit for sexual abuse' and that he would 'capitulate' if she made a complaint. Five days later, while drunk, Kemp handed himself in at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge and told officers he had sexually assaulted a woman. He initially denied the charges but was found guilty following a trial in August. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
