He told his victim he wanted to 'exercise control' over her
Ashley Iddon, 30, attacked the woman on two separate occasions between 2013 and 2019, Preston Crown Court heard. He admitted both attacks but shook his head in the dock as he was handed an extended prison sentence to protect women from him in the future.
The woman said she was scared to report Iddon in case she was not believed, and said Iddon used emotional blackmail against her to buy her silence. However in March 2020, Iddon was arrested on suspicion of rape. "She did the right thing", Judge Lloyd said. "How can she be blamed for what you did to her while she was asleep? No man is forced to rape any woman once, let alone twice. She wasn't to blame for the situation you found yourself in."
Judge Lloyd said: "Despite the fact I am told you are a well educated man, you still seem to think what you did in raping her was acceptable."
