Warren Conn, a rapist, was arrested after a woman discovered a 25-minute video of her assault on an old phone. The incident occurred years earlier while Conn lived in Sandwich, Kent. The victim had no memory of the recording and had not consented to the acts depicted. A digital forensic investigation revealed additional evidence of Conn's crimes, including a large number of indecent images of children. Following his arrest by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Conn was extradited to Kent, where he faced multiple charges. He pleaded guilty to 15 sexual offences, including rape, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison on May 28, 2026. The case highlights the importance of digital evidence in prosecuting sexual crimes.
