A former tory mayor has been jailed for more than six years after being convicted of raping a woman at her home.
Aigars Balsevics, 42, attacked the woman in Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, despite her crying and repeatedly telling him no.
When she tried to get away, Balsevics stopped her from leaving the room and raped her again.
Balsevics, of Burcroft Road, Wisbech, was found guilty of two counts of rape at trial at Peterborough Crown Court and was jailed for six-and-a-half years.
He had served as mayor of Wisbech, when he became Britain's first Eastern European elected mayor.
After the attack, the distressed victim called two friends who came to her home, and Balsevics left.
The woman reported what happened to police and Balsevics was arrested in the early hours of the following day, and later charged.
Det Con Katie Housham said: “I would like to commend the victim for her bravery throughout the court process. I hope the conviction and subsequent jail sentence will help her as she tries to rebuild her life.
“Balsevics ignored her repeated pleas for him to stop and even refused to let her leave when she tried to get away. I’m pleased he has now faced justice for his actions.
“I would like to encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to report it to the police. Your report will be taken very seriously, and we will always treat you with the utmost sensitivity and respect.”
@benonwine No, they are all retarded.
Why to they do the job if they know by doing the right thing will get them “into trouble”?
No moral integrity there.
DAMNING - Hampshire Police mandatory ‘Inclusion Matters’ course, quotes from officers and staff:
MUST READ 👇
1. It found that 15.5% of those surveyed felt “controlled and pressured to be certain ways” in the training sessions.
2. 14.3% said that “if I made a mistake, it would have been held against me”.
3. Almost 20 per cent said “I felt I would have been rejected for saying the wrong thing”.
4. “some attendees felt that they could not freely share their attitudes”
5. Individuals who “did not respond well to the course…may benefit from further intervention, monitoring or coaching”.
This is the same force that oversaw the death of Henry Nowak.
Now imagine this on a national scale and yet Keir Starmer and this Govt claim “there is no two-tier policing”. Bollocks.

Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.
Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.
She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.
@Marlayna29 Fuck off! I’ve been fat because I ate too much and developed type2 diabetes. Yeh and no one could have shamed me more than myself because I knew they were right.
@elonmusk@jonnycain001 Thats exactly it!
This I believe after years of white racism will be our turning point.
I don’t know how anyone could have watch the police body cam of poor Henry and not be emotionally charged.
We will never forget.
RIP Henry 🙏🏻💔
Horrific details laid out by the judge at Digwa sentencing.
As follows;
Digwa used his own mobile phone to film his victim attempting to escape by climbing onto a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence, while Digwa taunted: 'You're not going to get away with this big man.'
Sentencing Digwa, Judge William Mousley KC said: 'You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.' These clips have not been released.
Henry managed to land on top of a car parked in front of number 68, on the other side of the fence he jumped over. Digwa went on to take close-up photos of the incapacitated Henry lying on the ground.
In footage from a home security camera, Henry was heard saying 'I am dying', with Digwa replying, 'you're not dying bro'.
Ten minutes later, Henry said 'you stabbed me', with Digwa responding, 'no, I didn't', and, 'you were recording me thinking you're sick', which is slang for 'tough'.
In that ten-minute period, Digwa did not call an ambulance - but did film Henry for a full five minutes.
This clip was not played in court for being 'too disturbing to be shown'. The court heard the attack was not witnessed but neighbours heard Henry say he had been stabbed and was dying.
