Court: Halifax man jailed for more than 17 years for rape and other offences


A Halifax man has been jailed for more than 17 years for rape.
Jordan Reynolds, aged 30, was sentenced to a total of 17 years and six months in prison, with four years extended licence, when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court on Wednesday, March 4.
He was jailed following an investigation by detectives which saw him charged with multiple offences including rape.
Reynolds was also convicted of criminal damage, perverting the course of justice and unrelated charges of affray and assault of an emergency worker.
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Constable Katy Wilson, of the Adult Protection Team, said: “Reynolds subjected his victim to a horrendous ordeal and I hope the lengthy sentence he has received will give her some comfort.
“I also hope it encourages other victims to come forward and report offences to our specially-trained officers, who will investigate all reports and provide support throughout the process.”
