Exeter Teen Jailed for 17 Years for Sex Attacks on Two Girls as Court Imposes Lifetime Monitoring

Police credit swift witness reports for the rapid McDonald's arrest that helped secure convictions.

Overview

  • Exeter Crown Court imposed a 17-year custodial term with a further seven years on licence following jury convictions in October.
  • Boyes was found guilty of two rapes, four assaults by penetration and three sexual assaults for attacks on a 16-year-old near Digby & Sowton and a 17-year-old on a train on March 9, 2025.
  • Police bodycam captured his arrest at a McDonald's later that night, with officers noting he was under the influence of alcohol and ketamine.
  • The court ordered lifetime sex‑offender registration and a sexual harm prevention order that bans following or speaking to women in public, using sexually explicit language to females in public, having sex in public places, and using public transport while under the influence.
  • He must serve two thirds of the custodial term before parole consideration, and investigators praised witness assistance and the victims' courage while noting his lack of remorse and his claim he was 'too good looking' to commit rape.
