 A fake Uber driver who kept a 'rape kit in his car' as he prowled the streets of Brighton has been jailed for 23 years. Graham Head, 66, was described by the judge as a 'dangerous, sexual predator' as he was sent down at Brighton Crown Court. He was only stopped after a victim memorised part of his personalised number plate. The judge praised the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, for her presence of mind in memorising part of the plate number and called police immediately. 'Were it not for her, he would not have been apprehended and we would not be where we are today,' His Honour Judge Jeremy Gold KC said.

Cops found pepper spray and an extendable baton at his home and detectives believe there are more victims who have not yet come forward. Prosecutor Ryan Richter said Head was responsible for a series of terrifying nighttime assaults on vulnerable women. In a statement, his first victim said the physical impacts of his attack were temporary, 'The psychological impacts were not.' The young woman said she was frequently overwhelmed and still struggles to be outside on her own at night. Head's second victim was so traumatised she was unable to give a statement, Mr Richter said. HHJ Gold told Head: 'You were in the habit of driving around in the early hours of the morning looking for vulnerable, intoxicated young women. 'You were posing as a good Samaritan, instead,){kind=link}
