Years after it happened, the partner of his victim tracked him down
A man who plied a teenage girl with drugs before raping her in a Blackpool nightclub has been jailed.
When that failed he then took her back to The Main Entrance in a car. During the journey Sweeney gave the victim a tablet containing an unknown substance.When they went into the kitchen where Sweeney raped her as she pleaded with him to stop. The next thing she remembered after that was waking up in bed with Sweeney at his house in the Thornton area with no idea how she got there.
A confrontation happened between the pair over the phone in early 2020 and following that the victim disclosed what had happened to the police. Sweeney, 48, of no fixed address was interviewed and subsequently charged with rape. Following a trial at Preston Crown Court earlier this year he was found guilty of rape.
Dave Hindle, of Lancashire Police, said: “Sweeney is a manipulative individual who plied his victim with drugs before raping her. Even though he knew full well what he had done, he caused further distress to the victim by making her relive her ordeal by running a trial.
