Craig France sentenced to 10 years for sexual offences, filming victims

Craig France, a 33-year-old man from Peterborough, was sentenced to 10 years and seven months in prison for a series of sexual offences, including rape and voyeurism, involving multiple victims whom he filmed without consent. France targeted young women at nightclubs, lured them to his home under the pretense of after-parties, and then plied them with alcohol before assaulting them, sometimes while they were unconscious or asleep. His crimes came to light after a woman reported a rape incident from two years prior, leading to the discovery of over 6,000 explicit images and videos of his victims. During sentencing, Judge Mark Bishop described France as a 'depraved and calculating sexual predator,' highlighting the psychological harm inflicted on his victims. France's actions have raised concerns that there may be more unidentified victims. He was also issued an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order following the sentencing.
