Gloucester Crown Court Sentencing Results

Brady Hickman, 33, staked out the home of a disabled woman in her 70s and watched through a window as she fell asleep on November 11, 2021. He entered her home through an open window in the early hours, stripped naked in the hallway, and raped her after threatening her not to make a noise. The victim awoke to see him in her bedroom doorway and was left suffering from PTSD, panic attacks, and flashbacks, leading her to move homes.

Kieran Hayward, 19, led police on a high-speed chase in Gloucester on April 8, 2016, driving a Volkswagen Golf at speeds exceeding 125mph with a baby and a five-year-old girl in the back seat. He evaded police due to lack of insurance, weaving through traffic on the wrong side of the road, causing other vehicles to take evasive action, and was eventually stopped in congestion on the A40 bypass.

Wendy Buffrey, 61, of Cheltenham, ran a Post Office in Up Hatherley, Gloucestershire. She noticed shortfalls due to Horizon errors, topped them up with her own money, but was coerced into signing false accounts, leading to fraud charges and conviction.
