A Coventry sex attacker has been jailed for raping a Nuneaton woman he met on a dating site.

Hodijah Samuels, aged 30, of Wappenbury Road, Coventry, has been sentenced to eight years and three months in jail for raping a woman in her 20s.

Warwickshire Police said that Samuels met his victim via a dating website in July 2019 and they went for a drink.

They returned to the victim’s home in Nuneaton where he raped her the following morning.

Samuels was found guilty of rape and jailed at Warwick Crown Court on Friday, October 30.

Detective Constable Steve Reading commended the victim for her bravery in helping to bring Samuels to justice.

“This was a horrific attack on a young woman who was very clear she did not consent to having sex with Samuels," DC Reading said.

“This has understandably been a traumatic experience for the victim and I would like to commend her for the bravery and courage she has shown in coming forward and reporting what happened.

"I hope this sentencing will give her some closure and help her to begin moving forward in her life."
