A former public schoolboy who carried out rapes on two young women has been locked up for two decades.

Self-proclaimed city trader Chiron Hutchinson, who attended fee-paying St Bede’s, where model Lottie Moss was in the same year, was convicted last month of three offences of rape.

Neither victim had met him before they were attacked within six days of each other in Tunbridge Wells.

Both were described as drunk and in vulnerable states when Hutchinson drove them in his mother’s hire car to secluded areas on the outskirts of the town and attacked them.

Two other alleged victims also came forward as a result of subsequent publicity.

Hutchinson denied six offences of rape, six of sexual assault and one of attempted rape in relation to all four between July and October last year.

He was found guilty on majority verdicts of two rapes of a 17-year-old on October 2 and one rape of a 24-year-old on October 8, and cleared of all other charges.

The jury deliberated for more than 33 hours but was unaware that the 20-year-old had already pleaded guilty to two offences of sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl in September 2016.

Hutchinson was locked up for 20 years under an extended sentence after Judge Mark Dennis QC found he was a continuing danger.

He will have to serve two thirds of the youth custody sentence before he will be considered for parole and will be on licence for a further eight years.

Hutchinson, dressed in a grey suit and pink shirt and tie, showed no emotion as the judge said: “I have no doubt the facts and circumstances of these five offences are such to justify the conclusion there is a risk of serious harm being occasioned by the commission of further sexual offences, and notwithstanding his age that an extended sentence should be imposed today in order to protect the public from such further serious harm.”

Hutchinson had openly confessed to the court when giving evidence that he was ‘an opportunist’ when it came to having sex, and went out to bars and clubs in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in the hope of ‘getting lucky’.

He also admitted he repeatedly lied about having a successful and wealthy career as a stockbroker and model to impress people.

Other revelations made by the Tesco shop worker included him confessing that he trawled the internet for rape videos and pornography, using search terms such as ‘teen rape’, ‘forced sex’ and ‘against her will’ when he was 17.

At the time he was studying for his AS levels at the £7,000 a term private school, in Hailsham, East Sussex where he said fellow pupils included the children of former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba and rock musician Nick Cave and his wife Susie Bick.

On his arrest in October last year police also discovered he had looked at an online media report about a student being raped in toilets at a Tunbridge Wells nightclub, as well as one in The New Scientist about a test to prove rape.

The searches were carried out on his laptop within days of the three rapes he committed.

Well-spoken Hutchinson encountered a 24-year-old woman by chance as she wandered home alone and drunk in Tunbridge Wells, in the early hours of October 8 last year.

He offered her a lift in his mother’s hire car, only to drive her to secluded woodland, push her out of the vehicle and attack her from behind on the bonnet.

She repeatedly tried to fight him off, at one point even hitting him in desperation with her lipstick.

Hutchinson eventually drove the woman to a friend’s house. She was ‘distressed and dishevelled’ and screaming she had been raped, Maidstone Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Christopher May said the attack occurred when Hutchinson was ‘feeling frustrated’ after another young woman spurned his sexual advances in his car less than two hours earlier.

Following his arrest four days later and being charged with rape, the court was told three teenagers aged 16, 17 and 18 came forward.

The 17-year-old had twice been raped just six days earlier on October 2 after meeting Hutchinson in MooMoo Clubrooms in Tunbridge Wells.

She was attacked both inside and outside his mum’s car after he drove to a wooded area.

Hutchinson, of Mount Pleasant Road, Uckfield, East Sussex, was 18 and 19 at the time of all three rapes.

During his four-week trial the court was shown footage Hutchinson filmed on his mobile phone of one victim drunk and sitting bare-legged in his mum’s Subaru.

He however described her as being ‘tipsy and excitable’.

He also boasted in a call to a friend about taking another girl’s virginity in a play-fight, as he described it, only for his friend to reply: “It sounds like rape.”

Hutchinson was cleared of all offences alleged against her, including rape.

Another victim claimed he sexually assaulted and tried to rape her after driving her to his stables late at night in the Sussex village of Berwick.

She told the court he continuously laughed as he pinned her on the unlit barn floor, put his hands under her clothing and told her she ‘wanted it’.

However, she said she fought him off by punching him in the face.

Again he was cleared of all offences relating to her.

Hutchinson spent three days giving evidence in court, starting on what was his 20th birthday.

He denied any sexual activity at the stables, other than mutual flirting and him twice trying to kiss the girl.

He said the three other victims all consented to sex.

Hutchinson told the jury he had always had a lot of female friends, preferring their company as he was bullied as a child, and was in a relationship until early 2016.

Describing himself as flirtatious, he added: “I have always found it easier to engage with women. I learned a lot about what women liked and didn’t like, and what they found attractive, and have a good understanding of women.”

Before attending St Bede’s to study for AS levels, Hutchinson was a pupil at Uckfield Community Technology College as well as a Montessori private school.

His fake claims about enjoying a wealthy lifestyle also included boasts of having an apartment in London’s Hampstead and clients wanting to invest hundreds of thousands of pounds in his trading firm. He told one victim he could ‘open doors’ for her.

But in reality he lived at home with his mum, Louise, and had only ‘dabbled’ in stockbroking by setting up an account.

She was in court throughout his trial but did not attend once the jury began its deliberations or for the verdicts.

Hutchinson told the court he regularly lied about his background because people ‘bestowed an expectation’ on him due to his private education, well-spoken voice and owning horses.

He was originally charged with a further three offences of rape, one of attempted rape and two of sexual assault in relation to a fifth woman between November 1, 2015, and April 1 last year.

However, no evidence was offered before his trial started in respect of all six offences after the alleged victim stated she no longer wanted to support the prosecution.

Judge Dennis said Hutchinson had over the course of four weeks committed serious sexual offences against females aged 14, 17 and 24.

Hutchinson had “brazenly” assured the 14-year-old girl’s father there was nothing going on and said he didn’t fancy her. He added his intentions were honourable.

A few hours later he was in a nightclub engaging with a 17-year-old girl who was also to become a victim, who had drunk to excess.

“The defendant was well aware of her state and, in my view, seized upon it,” said the judge.

“He raped her twice - once inside the car and just outside. The victim had little recall of events.”

The teenager, who had no previous experience, woke up many miles away in his bedroom.

Six nights later he was back in the same nightclub following the same pattern of behaviour.

The offences, he said, revealed a propensity to strive to engineer situations which would allow him to take advantage of victims he singled out because he considered them to be vulnerable for his purposes because they were young or intoxicated.

“He had no regard for anyone other than himself,” said the judge.

“He was aware what he was doing was against the law. He plainly didn’t care.”

After raping the drunk French woman in an isolated spot, he drove her back to Tunbridge Wells, leaving her distraught, injured and dishevelled in the street.

Impact statements revealed the damage caused to victims.

The 14-year-old suffered post-traumatic stress disorder and needed weekly therapy sessions.

The 24-year-old woman quit her job and returned to her parents in France, as she was fearful of living in another country again.

“Her father made the poignant observation she had ‘lost the stars in her eyes’,” said Judge Dennis.

There was an element of “abduction by trick or false pretence” by luring one drunken female away from the safety of her friends, before driving her to an isolated location.

“In giving evidence, the defendant was unabashed with his declaration before the jury that just a day or so before entering the witness box he thought it appropriate to view a film with a theme that was overtly sexual throughout.”

The film he watched in his cell was sadomasochistic 50 Shades of Grey.

The judge continued: “In my view, he simply didn’t understand the consequences of his actions, having no empathy for his victims, holding a view of entitlement.

“He was triumphant and boastful about his sexual exploits. The offences reveal him to be a fantastist and narcissist, inventing stories for females. He can only be described as predatory.

“There appeared to be fundamental floors in his personality and character.”

Hutchinson wrote a letter to the court in which he spelled out what purported to be a reflection of his change since the trial, saying he had learnt a lesson.

"The evidence revealed the defendant to be a manipulative and deceitful individual who was obsessed with sex and had an insatiable desire to obtain sexual gratification at the expense of others" - Judge Mark Dennis

But Judge Dennis continued: “The evidence revealed the defendant to be a manipulative and deceitful individual who was obsessed with sex and had an insatiable desire to obtain sexual gratification at the expense of others.

“He admitted he had a high sex drive. He tried to have sex with at least six different females. He would always carry a condom with him and would try to have sex, but maintained he would only do so with consent.

Hutchinson claimed he respected females and would not harm them.

But said the judge: “The evidence at trial and the verdict of the jury shows otherwise.

"A close friend described how he (Hutchinson) was obsessed with sex. He said he would talk about nothing else and would always be talking about girls he would like to have sex with.

“His attitude in general caused the friend to break off their relationship and have anything else to do with him.”

After the verdict, detective chief inspector Tony Pledger, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said: "Chiron Hutchinson is an aggressive, dangerous and predatory sex offender.

"He forced his victims to endure some truly harrowing ordeals, committing a number of very serious sexual offences over a matter of just a few days.

"These victims have subsequently shown tremendous courage to give evidence in court and ensure Hutchinson is now serving a lengthy prison sentence.

"Without their bravery I have no doubt Hutchinson would have remained a persistent and significant threat to any young women who may have encountered him."

An NSPCC spokesman added: “This is a shocking case in which Hutchinson deliberately targeted vulnerable victims for his own sexual gratification.

“Each has shown immense courage in speaking out about their ordeals and it’s important that they continue to receive all appropriate help and support.
