A man has been jailed for raping a woman while she slept.
Leslie Mangwa was sentenced on Monday (September 1) after he attacked the woman, who was sleeping after a night out in January last year.
On the night of the attack in Coventry, the woman was asleep when she awoke to find Mangwa sexually assaulting her.
She screamed and made him leave the room.
Shortly after the rape, the woman reported her story to the police.
"Thanks to her bravery in coming forward, officers identified and arrested Mangwa, 33 and charged him with rape," West Midlands Police said.
In interview, Mangwa denied rape, claiming what happened had been consensual.
Despite this, he was found guilty at trial on 4 August and sentenced on 29 August.
Mangwa, of William Hillman Court, was jailed for eight years, along with being given a restraining order and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
