Cleveland Wyatt Jailed for 21 Years for Orchestrating Leeds Gang Rape

Detectives continue to hunt nine unidentified attackers.

Overview

  • Wyatt, sentenced Thursday at Leeds Crown Court, received a 21-year term and must serve two-thirds in prison before release on licence.
  • He was convicted of raping a vulnerable woman and then calling about 10 men to his home, supplying drugs to keep her compliant as they took turns to abuse her.
  • West Yorkshire Police say the other attackers have not been identified and welcome any new information to trace the nine men.
  • The court heard the men taunted the victim and threw cash at her, and the judge said the attack humiliated and degraded her.
  • The victim described nightmares and loss of bladder control in a statement, and police said she gave evidence under special measures after a 2022 report that led to arrests in March 2023 and one co-defendant’s acquittal.
