Groom Caught Raping Wife's Chief Bridesmaid (See Photos)
One is left speechless at the sheer madness of it all.
A 29-year-old groom was arrested
and jailed for seven years after he was convicted for raping a guest in
his house as his bride slept next door.
The guest was surprisingly his
wife’s chief bridesmaid and best friend and the experience still haunts
her which made her speak up.
Daniel Howard, who was serving in
the Royal Army Medical Corps denied the rape initially, claiming that
she used his sex toy which was why there was forensic evidence but his
claims were dismissed by the jury at Teesside crown court UK, and
convicted him within 90 minutes with overwhelming evidence.
Howard got married to April Broadgate at a lavish ceremony in August 2015.
Mirror UK reports that the friendship between Broadgate and her chief bridesmaid crashed after the crime was revealed.
Just three weeks before his
trial, the new wife, who reportedly refused to believe her husband had
carried out the assault, went ahead with her wedding.
The victim whose identity was
withheld said: “I couldn’t go anywhere alone. My mum had to be in the
bathroom with me when she came around and washed my hair for me as I was
too exhausted to do it myself.
“I still have anxiety attacks
where I’ll break down in tears and ring a friend crying for no reason
whatsoever. This will always be part of my life that I have to learn to
deal with.
“I don’t think I will ever fully
recover. I’ve been on sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor for a
number of months. I constantly think about what happened and often have
flashbacks to that night.
“It sounds silly but I’m
frightened someone will come and get me again, and no-one will know. I
had a good job, a strong relationship, a bright future, a plan for a
house. I just feel damaged and broken.”
Wonders shall never end ......
