Offence Summary

Gene Benjamin, a serial rapist, held victims hostage during his assaults.

Full Description

Gene Benjamin from Bournemouth was convicted as a serial rapist who held his victims hostage, subjecting them to prolonged terror in multiple incidents.

Dorset Police linked Benjamin to several attacks through victim descriptions and DNA evidence. In each case, he restrained the women, refusing to release them until satisfying his demands. The pattern emerged over years, targeting vulnerable individuals.

The trial at Bournemouth Crown Court detailed the harrowing ordeals, with one survivor testifying, 'He locked the door and said I wouldn't leave until he was done.' Benjamin was charged with multiple rapes under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

  • Series of rapes involving hostage-taking.
  • Victims held against their will for extended periods.
  • Benjamin showed no remorse in court.

Sentenced on 11 March 2022, he received a life sentence with parole restrictions. This case exposed gaps in serial offender tracking. Source: Offenders.org.uk database, O-1152.
