Aaron Robinson – Hull

A r*pist who ignored a woman’s repeated pleas to get off her in a hotel room has been warned he faces a lengthy prison sentence.

Aaron Robinson, 33, targeted the woman after she had been out celebrating her birthday with friends in Hull. She was staying overnight at a city-centre hotel when Robinson got into her bed and began touching her, Hull Crown Court heard.

The woman made it clear she did not consent and told him to get off. But Robinson, who had used cocaine that evening and was also staying at the hotel, continued. He told her to “shush” before r*ping her.

Friends who later went to her room found her crying. She told one of them what had happened the following morning.

The woman reported the attack to police on 2 June 2023, and Robinson was arrested two days later.

Robinson, of no fixed address, originally denied r*pe and a trial began. But after the prosecution case had started, he changed his plea to guilty.

He was remanded back into custody while pre-sentence reports are prepared. He is due to be sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court on 11 December and has been warned that he faces a lengthy prison term.

A second charge of rape, which he denied, and was originally part of the trial, will lie on file.
