Jacob Evans

A violent rapist who subjected two women to years of sexual violence, assaults and controlling behaviour has been jailed for 15 years.

Jacob Evans, 22, of Baddington, near Nantwich, threatened his victims with violence, degraded them and searched their phones during abuse spanning 2021 to 2025.

At Chester Crown Court on Monday, 12 October, he received a 21-year extended sentence comprising 15 years in prison and a further six years on licence.

Both women told police Evans repeatedly assaulted them and raped them. He also forced them into other sexual activity through threats of violence. One described being threatened with a knife.

His abuse extended to controlling their lives and exploiting them financially.

One woman said Evans bullied her into allowing him to drive her car despite being uninsured. He also forced her to sell possessions to fund sports clothing, alcohol, a new iPhone and an Apple Watch.

After receiving the devices, Evans sold them and pocketed the proceeds.

When police first arrested him, he told officers he “wasn’t worried” about the allegations.

Evans was interviewed twice after the women came forward. He initially denied wrongdoing and gave no-comment answers during police questioning before being charged and remanded in custody.

He changed his pleas to guilty on the first day of his trial.

Evans admitted offences including four counts of rape, sexual assault by penetration, two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, two counts of making threats with a bladed weapon and two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour.

The court also imposed an indefinite restraining order protecting both women.
