Audey Loveridge
Case Information & Details
Audey Loveridge, a man from Bewdley, UK, has been involved in several legal proceedings, including a significant criminal conviction for rape and charges related to handling stolen goods and fraud.
Rape Conviction and Sentencing:
Audey Loveridge, aged 47, of Woodman Caravan Park, Bewdley, was found guilty of one count of rape following a trial at Worcester Crown Court on Friday, June 28, 2024. He had denied the charge. During the trial, a voice recording made on an Apple Watch by the victim during the incident on December 9, 2022, was presented as evidence. The court heard that Loveridge was "overbearing" with women and had a "very inappropriate view of consent."
On Thursday, October 3, 2024, Loveridge was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court to eight years and two months in prison. He was also issued an indefinite restraining order against the victim and ordered to register as a sex offender for life. Judge Jonathan Salmon noted that Loveridge had no previous convictions for sexual offenses. He was acquitted of other sexual offense charges and engaging in coercive and controlling behavior.
Other Charges:
In a separate case, Audey Loveridge, then aged 45, of Riverside Caravan Park, Bewdley, appeared at Hereford Crown Court on January 24, 2023.

A trial for these charges has been set for January 13, 2025.
