A man who took advantage of a vulnerable woman before raping her has been jailed.
Martin Glover (pictured) met his victim on a night out in Morecambe in April 2023.
He acted as a good Samaritan by offering the woman a place to stay but then proceeded to rape her at an address in the town.
Glover, 39, of Clarendon Road West, Morecambe, pleaded guilty to rape at a hearing in June of this year and was back at Preston Crown Court for sentence today (Friday, October 3rd).
He was jailed for seven-and-a-half years and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
In a statement the victim, in her 30s, described how she was a shadow of her former self as a result of the attack, that Glover had stolen her dignity and that she suffered from anxiety and sleepless nights.
