When Clayden was alone with the victim, he kissed her, touched her breasts, and forced her to perform oral sex.

He has now been put on the sex offenders register for life.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Laura Wright, based at Aylesbury police station, said: ”This is a suitable conviction for a serious crime committed against a vulnerable young woman, who was having some drinks with friends.

“The victim, in this case, has been extremely strong throughout this investigation and hopefully she and her family are happy that justice has been served against the offender.”
