A drugged up sex attacker who repeatedly raped and indecently assaulted a woman over seven years has been jailed. Lee Buff, who committed the offences at various addresses in Leicestershire between 1997 and 2004, would often carry out his crimes while high of drugs. Leicester Crown Court heard the 42-year-old has a history of violence. It was not until 2012 that Buff’s victim finally told police about what had happened some eight to 15 years previously. Buff of Roman Bank in Skegness, had denied all allegations made against him but on July 9, following a trial, he was found guilty of 10 counts of indecently assaulting a woman over 16 years of age and four counts of raping a woman over 16 years of age. Buff was sentenced to 13 years for rape and three years for indecent assault and will service the sentences consecutively. He must also sign the sex offenders register for life. Detective Constable Kirsty Potter, the investigating officer, said: “There is no doubt that Buff is a violent and physically intimidating man with no regard for the welfare of others. “His victim was terrified of him and the way that he behaved. He would rape her and abuse her on a regular basis, often while high on drugs. His sickening actions have had a significant and lasting impact on her both physically and mentally. “I believe that there may be other people who have been physically or sexually abused by him. If I’m right, then I would really urge those people to speak to police.” Buff was also charged with two counts of indecently assaulting a boy under the age of 14 and one count of indecently assaulting a woman over 16 years of age. He was acquitted of these charges. There are a number of different agencies who are able to offer independent help and support to victims of sexual offences. Further information on these services and details on who to contact if you have been a victim of a sexual offence can be found by contacting Lincolnshire Police.
