A Leamington Spa man has been jailed after sexually assaulting three women in the town last year.

Emmanuel Atugo, aged 29 of Southorn Court, Leamington, was handed an 11 year sentence at Warwick Crown Court today (Tuesday 8 July) and will spend the rest of his life on the Sex Offenders Register.

On 27 June last year, Atugo sexually assaulted a woman he had only just met while in his car on Bath Place in Leamington.

On 1 August, Atugo sexually assaulted a woman he had known for a short while at her home in Leamington. 

While on bail for both offences, on 17 November Atugo sexually assaulted another woman he knew at his house in Leamington.

He was charged and remanded in custody following his arrest.

Atugo was found guilty by a jury of five counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual assault by penetration, at Warwick Crown Court on 29 May this year.

Today, he was sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment and four years on licence following his release. He will also be on the Sex Offenders Register for life.

Detective Constable Ella Stewart from our Domestic Abuse and Rape Team said: "I cannot praise enough the strength all three victims have displayed throughout this process, and I am relieved that they have finally received the justice they each deserve. 

"I hope this case reassures victims of sexual abuse that we are committed to investigating and bringing dangerous offenders to justice."

Ellie, an Independent Sexual Violence Advocate (ISVA) with Safeline who supported one of the victims through the investigation, said: "Working in partnership with the investigating officer, DC Stewart, was a really positive experience for the victim and the ISVA.

"Her compassion, clear communication, and commitment made a real difference. 

"Together, we helped ensure the victim felt heard, supported, and empowered throughout the investigation and court process. Ultimately, to see justice done."
