They were known to one another, with the victim reporting to a care support worker that on the weekend of 8/9 March 2025, Morris had raped him.

Morris had been living in Lancaster since 2017, having served a prison sentence for raping a man in Nottingham.

Lancashire Police officers arrested Morris on suspicion of rape, and he was charged following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service.

Morris, 63, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to a charge of raping a man aged over 16 and two offences of sexual assault on a male.

Appearing at Preston Crown Court last Friday, Morris was given a 14-year sentence – comprising of eight years in prison and a six-year extended licence period.

In his Victim Personal statement, the man said: “I was extremely upset after the rape happened, it was not something that I wanted to happen.

“I have no sexual attraction to males.

“I thought that he was being friendly but that was all lies.

“I am very careful now and do not make friends with anyone. Therefore, I feel more isolated than before.”
