Rapist strikes day after leaving jail

A TWISTED sex attacker who raped a Crawley woman a day after he left jail early in a stretch limousine has been caged for life.

Neal Allanson, 41, of no fixed address was then granted bail on the rape charge only to launch another sickening sex attack.

Sentencing him to life in prison at Chichester Crown Court yesterday (Friday), Recorder Malcolm Fortune branded the predator 'a danger to the public'.

Allanson, whose criminal record dates back to 1982, was handed a 15-month jail term in October 2004 for delivering stolen cars to the Ukraine.

He was released from prison on February 2005, under a "home detention curfew", was electronically tagged and ordered to live at an address in Crawley.

But the next day, he twice raped a woman after a drunken party.

The court was told how Allanson was a businessman who demanded to be picked up from prison in a stretch limousine and romped with strippers.

He then jumped bail and was only caught in October last year, when he was charged with sexual assault in East London.

The court heard how twisted Allanson gave cops a false name, but was identified from his fingerprints.

Recorder Fortune gave Allanson a life sentence, with no chance of parole for seven years and 189 days.
