Teenage rapist jailed for attacking intoxicated 13-year-old girl

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 06:01 · Archive

Charlie Page, 19, was sentenced to 12 years for raping an intoxicated 13-year-old girl near Oxford's Westgate shopping centre.

Charlie Page, 19, of Walker Drive, Faringdon, was sentenced to 12 years at Oxford Crown Court on Friday 23 October for raping an intoxicated 13-year-old girl on 8 January last year near the Westgate shopping centre.

Page, who was 18 at the time, first met the girl in John Lewis where she noticed 'he was high because his eyes looked funny'. He kissed her, then took her around the corner and attacked her while she cried.

In a video-recorded police interview shown to the jury, the girl said she was 'stumbling around because I was really drunk'. She described how Page 'grabbed me and made me do it' and when she tried to get away, he said 'if you say anything I will kill you'. She told jurors: 'He knew I didn't like it because of the crying. I knew he saw that because I was crying loudly.' When Page asked her 'Are you sure you want to do this?', she replied 'No', but he continued regardless.

Page was found guilty of rape and assault by penetration following a trial on 21 August. Judge Hassan Khan concluded he was 'dangerous' and extended his sentence from an initial eight years to 12. He was also made subject to notification requirements.
