Offence Summary

Alexander Julien was convicted of raping a woman over 16 and engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour in Wakefield District in 2022, leading to a nine-and-a-half-year custodial sentence at Leeds Crown Court.

Full Description

Alexander Julien, a 34-year-old man from Castleford, West Yorkshire, was sentenced to a total of nine-and-a-half years in prison following his conviction for serious sexual and controlling offences. The case, investigated by the Wakefield District Safeguarding Unit of West Yorkshire Police, centred on a rape committed in the Wakefield District in 2022, as well as two counts of coercive and controlling behaviour.

Julien, residing at Graham Drive in Castleford, denied all charges but was found guilty by a jury after a trial held in December at Leeds Crown Court. The offences came to light through the courageous testimony of the victim, who endured what authorities described as a 'horrendous ordeal'. On 22 January 2026, Julien appeared for sentencing, where he received five years' imprisonment for the rape of a female aged over 16. Additionally, he was given two years for the coercive and controlling behaviour offences, to run concurrently with each other but consecutively to the rape sentence.

The court also imposed a further two years and six months for separate drug-related offences, which were ordered to run consecutively, resulting in the overall nine-and-a-half-year term. Detective Constable Adele Bossons of the Wakefield District Safeguarding Unit commented on the severity of the case, stating: 'I'm pleased that Julien has been handed a lengthy sentence that reflects the severity of his offending. Victims of this type of offending show tremendous bravery in coming forward, and I hope that it brings some comfort to see justice being done after experiencing such a horrendous ordeal.' The investigation highlighted the dedicated efforts of West Yorkshire Police's safeguarding teams, trained to support victims of sexual abuse and violence.

Offences: Rape (2022, Wakefield District), two counts of coercive and controlling behaviour, and separate drug offences.
Sentencing date: 22 January 2026, Leeds Crown Court.
