The court heard the woman that Vanmeer-Sheridan raped suffered a broken rib. Ben Gow, prosecuting, said: ‘She went from being an outgoing, confident young woman to doubting herself all the time.’
And his teenage victim said in an impact statement: ‘You thought it was okay to violate my body and affect my life with complete disregard for my choice.’ Judge Rupert Mayo said: ‘I hope this trial has been a wake up call for you and all people who decide to use hook-up apps to meet people because the extent of your evidence was that, if someone swipes right and you have a match, then you have the green light to have sex with them.
‘That is not right because, at any stage, anyone can withdraw consent and you have to be sure that – when you do attempt to have sex with them – you have their consent. It is quite simple.’ Vanmeer-Sheridan was found guilty of two counts of rape and one of attempted rape at his trial at Northampton crown court. He was also handed a sexual harm prevention order and will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for life.
