Horrific Attacks Spanning 2020 to 2023
The crimes relate to incidents between December 2020 and March 2021 involving one victim, and further attacks on another woman from November 2022 to January 2023.
Police Urge Victims to Speak Out
Detective Constable Karen Minnion said: “Buckley subjected his victims to assaults and threats on their lives. It is understandably difficult and distressing for victims to talk about what happened, but any reports we receive will be taken seriously and dealt with professionally and sensitively.”
“The Constabulary works closely with trusted partners to provide support tailored to each individual’s circumstances. These offences will not be tolerated by Cumbria Constabulary, and we will do everything to hold offenders accountable and bring them to justice.”
“I urge anyone who has suffered sexual offences to come forward and contact police. You will be supported throughout our investigation.”
