“Extreme sexual deviant” jailed for raping unconscious woman

A Brixton man who raped an unconscious woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Michael Wynter, described by police as “extremely sexually deviant”, had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a child.

The 34-year-old, who will remain on the sex offenders’ register for life, was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, April 30.

Wynter was found guilty of raping his victim at an address in Pinner between 2019 and 2021.

The victim-survivor, who exposed her attacker to stop him from targeting others, has been praised for her “incredible strength and heroism”.

Wynter was arrested in December 2021 and investigators collected evidence from his and the victim’s phones.

Police spoke to a person the victim had confided in and took a detailed formal statement from the victim as evidence.

Wynter had been on the sex offenders’ register since 2021, having been convicted of sexually assaulting a child between 2002 and 2003.

Detective Constable Adam Conibeere, who led the investigation, said: “Wynter is an extreme sexual predator who raped a woman while she was asleep or unconscious.

“I would like to commend the victim-survivor who bravely navigated the entire investigation and trial and I can only hope that this outcome will help provide some comfort and the closure she deserves as she tries “To move on with your life.”

“She showed incredible strength and heroism when, after much consideration, she came forward to report the matter because she did not want anyone else to suffer at Wynter’s hands.

“Tackling violence against women and girls is a top priority for the Met. We will continue to do everything we can to remove predatory offenders from the streets of London, whilst supporting complainants and helping them at every stage.”
