Wirral man jailed for 10 years plus extended licence for rape

We are welcoming the sentencing of a Wirral man to 10 years in prison for the rape of a woman in 2022. 
 
James Alldis, 50, of Wilton Road, Tranmere, will also serve a further five years on an extended licence and be placed on the Sex Offender Register for life. 
​
He was sentenced on Friday, 5 July at Liverpool Crown Court. The offence took place at a location in Wirral in 2022.
 
Speaking after the sentencing of Alldis, Detective Inspector Carla Cross from our specialist Unity team said: "Alldis is a dangerous and predatory sex offender who will now serve a lengthy sentence, as well as being closely monitored upon his release.
 
"His victim has shown immense strength, courage and patience to get to this point, and we will continue to support her as she looks to move forward. Hopefully this outcome aids the process of her recovery in some way.
 
"Alldis showed absolutely no remorse for his actions, which undoubtedly added to the harm caused to his victim.
 
"We understand how difficult it can be to come forward and report serious sexual offences, so I want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who has been a victim of a sexual offence or is concerned for the safety of someone they knows. Please be assured that we have a team of dedicated staff who will expertly and compassionately deal with your reports and we will do everything we can to bring offenders to justice.
 
“We take all such reports extremely seriously, and work with partner organisations, who are there to support victims every step of the way."
