    Britain\u2019s longest-serving prisoner is back behind bars after attacking a woman while out on licence.<\/p>\n

    Murderer and serial sex attacker Ronald Evans, 82, also known as the Clifton Rapist, was active in Bristol between 1977 and 1979 where he carried out a number of sexual attacks. Prior to that, he had served 11 years in the cage for the rape and murder of 21-year-old shop worker Kathleen Heathcote in 1963.<\/p>\n

    He was released in 2018 but is on licence for life, however, since his arrest has been on remand and is due to be sentenced again next week. He was convicted at Harrow Crown Court for attacking a woman in her own home. He sat at Hendon Magistrates of one count of sexual assault in a majority verdict of 11 to one.<\/p>\n

    The jury deliberated for more than five hours before returning the guilty verdict. Two other counts of sexual assault against another woman were cleared.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The court was informed of his nine previous sexual offences, eight of sexual assault and one of rape between 1977 and 1979, but the 1963 killing was not disclosed. The jury heard how he had \u201cmaintained his inappropriate sexual desires\u201d and had been volunteering at a community centre, where he and the woman he was convicted of attacking had met.<\/p>\n

    The prosecution noted during the case: \u201cThere were women with serious mental health issues that [went] to that [community] centre. That is where you went, to target them.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Her Honor Judge Francis told the jury: \u201cThank you for your time and consideration. We know we are asking a lot from you and you are stepping outside your comfort zone. But without you, the jury, the criminal justice system would not work. You ensure people have a fair trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Sentencing is due to take place on Thursday (November 16). <\/p>\n
