'Evil' rapist who attacked woman in Shrewsbury town centre then hid in railway station toilet has sentence adjourned
A rapist who committed a sexual attack on a woman in Shrewsbury town centre has had his sentencing adjourned.
John Harvey, aged 25, was due to be sentenced at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court today (Wednesday, June 4), but the case was put back to a later date due to his barrister being unavailable.
Judge Richard McConaghy adjourned the hearing to a date to be decided.
It comes after a jury at Shrewsbury Crown Court found Harvey guilty of two counts of rape and one of sexual assault against the woman.
The court heard how in the early hours of July 7 last year, Harvey approached a woman in her 20s, who he did not know, in Mardol.
