Rapist Lee Metcalf who held 16-year-old girl captive jailed

A "dangerous" rapist who kept a 16-year-old girl captive for seven hours has been jailed for nine years.

The girl "naively thought" he was "offering her friendship", Her Honour Judge Amanda Rippon said, adding he actually "intended more". She was only freed when a cleaner arrived at about 07:30 GMT the following day as Metcalf had broke his sink and water was leaking into the room below. The judge said she had received "glowing" references about Metcalf, who had an 18-year-old son and two-year-old granddaughter, and he had shown signs of "turning his life around" after addressing his mental health issues.
