A rapist has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years after being convicted of attacking a 15-year-old girl in an Essex woodland almost 15 years ago. <\/p>\n
Jon Molt, 34, was traced after his father provided a DNA sample as part of the police inquiry into the rape in Ten Metre Wood, Harlow, in December 1997. <\/p>\n
Chelmsford Crown Court heard the sample provided a \"familial match\". Molt, from Rushes Mead, Harlow, had denied rape. <\/p>\n
His victim said she was \"extremely grateful\" to police for catching him. <\/p>\n
Prosecutor Carolyn Gardiner said the girl had attended a Christmas concert at her school and became concerned that her boyfriend, who played in the band, was not there and decided to walk to his house. <\/p>\n
As she passed through a secluded area of the wood she became aware of somebody running behind her, the court heard. <\/p>\n
Ms Gardiner said as the attacker tried to remove the girl's school uniform, she said: \"Please don't hurt me, I'm only 15.\" <\/p>\n
The prosecutor said: \"She screamed and he struck her and said 'If you scream again I'm going to kill you and I'm going to kill you bad'.\" <\/p>\n
I would like to thank them not only on my behalf, but for any future victims of this man who will now never have to go through the ordeal that I have had to endure <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
