Bedford man convicted of sexual assault in Milton Keynes

    Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been convicted of sexual assault in Milton Keynes.

    Elliot Ryan, aged 28, of Constable Hill, Bedford, was found guilty of one count of sexual assault by a unanimous jury verdict on Monday (3/7) following a trial at Aylesbury Crown Court.

    On 26 December 2019, Ryan was in bed with the victim at a property in Stony Stratford.

    The victim awoke to Ryan sexually assaulting her.

    He was arrested later that day and was charged on 17 May 2022.

    Investigating officer, Detective Constable Hollie Cromarty, based at Milton Keynes police station said: “I would like to thank the victim for coming forward and supporting our investigation and her bravery should be recognised.

    “I hope this conviction goes some way in giving victims the confidence to come forward to the police.

    “Thames Valley Police and the CPS are dedicated to tackling violence against women and girls by identifying and pursuing those who commit these crimes.

    “For victims of sexual assault, coming forward and reporting it is incredibly hard, but we urge anyone who has been subjected to these terrible crimes, to speak up, we will believe you and support you throughout the process.”

    Ryan will be sentenced on 2 August at Aylesbury Crown Court.
