Daniel Dickson
Daniel Dickson, an ex-soldier who repeatedly raped a woman and then carved his initials into her back has been jailed.
According to Daily Star UK, the 31-year-old man r*ped the woman several times before producing a knife which he used to carve her back with.
Mr. Dickson had formerly been to war in Afghanistan and claimed that he was using the blade as "experimentation."
He also claimed that the woman had consented to s*x and the use of the knife.
A jury at Teesside Crown Court found him guilty of rape and unlawful wounding.
Judge Tony Briggs said: “You pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding on the basis that it was at her request that you carve her initials on her back.
“It’s perfectly plain that the jury did not accept this particular account, and neither do I.”
Dickson, of Redcar, North Yorkshire, was jailed for seven years for rape and 12 months concurrently for the unlawful wounding.
He was given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order banning him from contacting or attempting to contact the woman.
The court was told that Dickson had a successful six-year career in the Army and served in Bosnia, Afghanistan and other conflict zones.
