A stall holder who raped a woman 18 years ago as she tried on a pair of jeans in a south Wales market has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Sukhdarshan Singh, 52, from Wolverhampton, followed the woman into his van after offering her the opportunity to try the jeans on.

He could not be traced after the attack in Bridgend but his DNA was found.

Cardiff Crown court heard he was finally arrested when a routine DNA swab linked him to the attack.

It followed his arrest for drink-driving and detectives were able to match his profile to that of the woman's attacker.

He pushed her down on a pile of clothes, pinned her down and raped her

Prosecuter Martin Kelly

Singh, from Bilstown, Wolverhampton, initially denied the rape allegation but changed his plea to guilty on the first day of his trial.

Prosecutor Martin Kelly told Cardiff Crown Court: "The woman had chosen a size 10 pair of jeans but was not sure if they would fit.

"So Singh offered to let her use his van to try them on.

"She went in - and so did Singh.

"He pushed her down on a pile of clothes, pinned her down and raped her."

The court heard when Singh had finished with the woman he said: "Stay here, I have another friend."

The effect of your crime was to cause her to feel so bad about herself that she contemplated suicide

Judge William Gaskell

The court heard how the woman, who was 59 at the time of the offence, struggled to lead a normal life after the attack.

The mother-of-nine had blamed the unsolved rape with difficulties she had with her marriage and the recent death of her husband.

Mr Kelly said: "She was married at 17 and had never slept with another man apart from Singh."

Judge William Gaskell jailed Singh for four-and-a-half years and ordered him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

He said: "The effect of your crime was to cause her to feel so bad about herself that she contemplated suicide.

"Your crime devastated her relationship with her husband and their sexual relationship was permanently damaged.

"You caused her family huge distress.

"She believes her husband died as a result of the stress bought into their relationship by the rape."

Family pain

Speaking after the sentencing the woman's daughter criticised the length of the sentence.

She said: "I just wish my father had been here to see him go to prison.

"It is impossible to tell how much damage Singh has done to our family.

"My mother will continue to suffer the pain from that crime."

Singh was bought to justice as a result of South Wales Police's involvement in Operation Moscow, which links sex offenders to historic DNA samples.

The ongoing operation is led by Detective Chief Inspector Paul Bethell who said: "We will continue our work into historic offences of this nature and bring these men to justice."

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
