Evans Nyarko, 45, who lived in Fishermead, Milton Keynes, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on October 1, 2026.
His sentencing followed a unanimous guilty verdict delivered by a jury after a six-day trial, which concluded on May 26, 2026.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the outcome in a statement published on October 2, detailing how an offer of assistance ended in a serious sexual offence.
Nyarko attacked woman at her home
The incident happened on August 12, 2024, after the woman, who was in her fifties, spent an evening with friends and acquaintances in the Conniburrow area of Milton Keynes.
At the end of the night, Nyarko offered to help her return home by taxi.
After arriving shortly after midnight, she became unwell and struggled to walk. He helped her into the property, then followed her into a downstairs toilet, where he attacked her.
The incident was reported to police that year. Nyarko was arrested and charged on August 28, 2024.
Police condemn abuse of trust
Investigating officer Detective Constable Lyndsay Gofton said the woman accepted Nyarko’s help because she knew him.
She described his actions as an abuse of the trust placed in him when the woman needed assistance to reach home safely.

According to Gofton, Nyarko denied the offence throughout the investigation, requiring the woman to recount her experience and testify before a jury.
The officer praised her courage and dignity throughout the investigation and court proceedings.
Gofton said the woman’s decision to report the incident and support the prosecution helped secure justice.
Police also reaffirmed their commitment to thoroughly investigating sexual offences and supporting victims throughout the criminal justice process.
