A depraved predator who orchestrated a woman’s gang rape by 10 men at his property has been imprisoned.

Vile Cleveland Wyatt, 62, also known as “Kiwi”, organised the horrific attack at his residence following more than a month of personally abusing the victim. Leeds Crown Court was told on Thursday, April 23, that the vulnerable woman encountered Wyatt, of Ederoyd Drive, Pudsey, after being told he could supply her with cannabis.

Wyatt proceeded to rape the woman repeatedly, frequently providing her with crack cocaine while she wept. He also pacified her partner by supplying him with crack cocaine in a separate room while he targeted the woman. Prosecutor Nick Adlington informed the court: “She described crying when he did it and him giving her a pipe of crack cocaine to stop her crying.”, reports Leeds Live.

“Some time in September or October 2022, she went to his address for drugs. Her boyfriend went to the flat to get her and the defendant told him she was there but wasn’t leaving and gave him some crack cocaine and he left.”

Wyatt assaulted the woman himself before 10 men turned up.

Mr Adlington said: “Later the same day, 10 men attended the property as a result of a phone call made by the defendant. She asked why they were there and he said she was to ‘drop her knickers’ for them. She said ‘No’ and starting crying. He took her knickers and trousers down and they took turns to abuse her.”

During the appalling incident, the woman was further degraded as she was made to wear a ball-gag and urinate in a bucket in the room. Mr Adlington stated the men then insulted her by calling her a “mucky bum” and a “b****” before Wyatt once again supplied her with crack cocaine.

The prosecutor said: “She made it clear she did not want to have sex and cried. She stated it went on until 5am.”

When the ordeal finally concluded, the court heard the men then tossed money at the woman in another revolting act of humiliation. Wyatt gathered the cash and “congratulated” her on earning some “good money.”

Following a trial last month, Wyatt was convicted of one count of rape relating to one occasion, and a count of rape relating to multiple incidents as well as two counts of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.

In a victim personal statement read to the court, the woman explained how she is still enduring the emotional and physical effects of Wyatt’s horrific crimes, including a lack of bladder control. She said: “I have not been able to have the same sexual relationship with my partner. Just talking about this now makes me tearful and upset…It has had the biggest impact on my relationship and it has been really hard to talk about it with my partner and he finds it really hard to talk about.

“I lost control of my bladder when I’m scared. My sleep has been affected as I have nightmares about being raped. It is like I am reliving it.”

The court heard Wyatt, a former painter and decorator, had no similar previous convictions on his record.

Mitigating, Giles Grant, said: “He didn’t appear in court to be in robust health and maybe looks to be older than his years. There are notable gaps in his offending, demonstrating someone who can act responsibly. He raised his family departed from a lifestyle of drugs.

“His son died in 2025…In 2022, there was clearly some drug use and addiction up until his arrest in 2024. After that period, progress was made and he had the support of his ex-partner after the death of his son. He still has a relationship with his [younger] son.”

His Honour Judge Ray Singh sentenced Wyatt to 21 years imprisonment, of which he must serve two-thirds behind bars before being released on licence. He stated that during the rape by multiple men, the woman was “humiliated and degraded.”

He told Wyatt: “She made it clear she didn’t wish to participate. She was crying. It went on for a considerable and sustained length of time. The final act of humiliation was when they threw money at her and you collected it and congratulated her on having made some good money.

“I do come to the conclusion that you were the one who arranged those people to attend, knowing full well she wouldn’t consent. You were the one who removed her clothing, kept her compliant by providing her with drugs and encouraged the humiliation and you were the one who financially benefitted.

“The impact on her has been immense and will no doubt continue.”

Following the sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Lisa Jones, who leads the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Team at West Yorkshire Police, stated: “Wyatt preyed on the victim, who was clearly very vulnerable, and cruelly exploited her in the most appalling of circumstances, raping her on several occasions and forcing her into being raped by multiple other men at the same time.

“During what was a very challenging investigation, officers from the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Team were able to build up a comprehensive evidential picture that has resulted in Wyatt being found guilty at trial.

“Most importantly, we would like to recognise the courage that the victim has shown throughout the investigation and the trial. The lasting traumatic impact that Wyatt’s actions have had on her cannot be underestimated, and we hope it will provide some degree of comfort to her to see him brought to justice.

“West Yorkshire Police remains committed to tackling violence against women and girls alongside our partner agencies, and we hope the successful outcome of this case will illustrate that continued aim and give victims of other similar offences the confidence to come forward knowing they will be listened to and supported.”
