Dealer ‘drugged women and sexually assaulted them at home’

A MAN drugged a series of women and locked them in his house before subjecting them to a terrifying catalogue of sexual assaults, a court heard yesterday.

Geoffrey Holyoake, aged 53, of Frome, Somerset, was a “low level drug dealer” who supplied cannabis and amphetamines, mainly to people he met in a Wiltshire pub, a jury at Bristol Crown Court heard.

Through his trade he picked out “vulnerable” women to undergo outlandish sexual encounters.
