A Denton man described as a dangerous offender was jailed for 15 years after raping and assaulting women.

Full Description

Luke Cartwright, a man from Denton in Greater Manchester, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of violent sexual offences including rape and assault against multiple women. Described by the court as a 'dangerous offender', Cartwright's crimes involved controlling and abusive behaviour towards his victims.

The offences spanned several years and were uncovered through victim reports and forensic evidence collected by Greater Manchester Police. At Manchester Crown Court, the prosecution presented a pattern of domestic abuse escalating to sexual violence, with Cartwright exerting dominance over his partners. Witnesses and medical reports corroborated the severity of the assaults.

Cartwright raped and physically assaulted at least two women in domestic settings.
His controlling behaviour included isolation and threats.
The case highlighted issues of coercive control in relationships.

In passing sentence in September 2025, the judge noted Cartwright's lack of remorse and the profound trauma inflicted on the victims. He was also given an extended licence period upon release. Greater Manchester Police's domestic abuse unit played a key role in the investigation, praising the victims' courage.
