Dylan Lowther will be on the sex offenders register for life, Humberside Police said
A Hull man who abused a woman for a number of months has been sentenced to fifteen years behind bars and will be on the sex offenders register for life. Dylan Lowther, 21, was found guilty at Grimsby Crown Court and sentenced on Tuesday, September 16.
He was convicted of 11 offences following a five-day trial at Grimsby Crown Court in July. Lowther was found guilty by a unanimous jury of a number of sexual offences, as well as one count of controlling or coercive behaviour.
The investigation was launched in 2024 when Lowther was brought to the attention of officers after a woman attended a police station in Hull reporting a history of abuse. Shortly after the launch of the investigation, Lowther was arrested and later interviewed by Humberside Police detectives.
Whilst being interviewed, Lowther denied all allegations of abuse put to him and claimed that the reports were false and malicious. Lowther was remanded in custody after being charged with the 11 offences.
Leading the investigation at Humberside Police, Detective Constable Nadine Wilson urged other victims of sexual offences to come forward. She said: “Today I would like to thank the woman who came forward, it is solely through her bravery and courage that we were able to launch this investigation and bring this offender to justice.
“This ordeal will undoubtedly stay with the woman for the rest of her life, no amount of justice will erase the harm and trauma Lowther has inflicted, but I hope knowing he will be behind bars for a very long time will bring some kind of relief. We take all reports of sexual and domestic abuse seriously and continue to seek justice for those who have suffered at the hands of predators.
“Our specialist trained officers work closely with partnering and support agencies across the region, to support victims and survivors and to bring justice to perpetrators of sexual crimes of any nature. When ready, we urge victims to come forward and tell someone, report these crimes to the police and we will do everything we can to hold those accountable.”
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual crimes, you can report it via the non-emergency number 101 or 999 in an emergency or if a crime is ongoing. Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can report to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
