‘FIFTY Shades of Grey’ rapist Ryan Kennedy has been found guilty of raping a

woman during a bondage and domination style relationship.

The pervert was also convicted of raping two other women over an eight-year

period.

The 28-year-old was cleared of three other charges – two of rape and one of

attempted rape – but the jury at Gloucester Crown Court failed to reach

verdicts on eight other sex charges against him.

A jury of ten women and two men were discharged after three days’ deliberation

as the prosecution received two weeks’ leave to decide whether or not to

hold a retrial on the unresolved charges.

Depraved Kennedy, of Bristol, was described as a “controlling and manipulative

man” who took over his victims’ lives by the prosecution.

The court heard that a 28-year-old woman had initially embarked on a willing

relationship with Kennedy involving Fifty Shades-esque bondage and whipping.

The rapist told her to use “safe words” during the relationship based on a

traffic light system of green, amber and red when she was tied up.

But jurors were told that he changed the rules to stop her being able to

object to his demands and simply ignored other victims’ pleas for him to

stop.

He also cruelly tried to take over their financial and social lives during his

twisted campaign of control and abuse.

He was charged with ten counts of rape, one of attempted rape, two of assault

by penetration and one of causing a woman to engage in sexual activity

without consent.

The pervert had a total of 15 charges against him and was convicted of three

and cleared of four with the jury unable to reach a conclusion on the

remaining eight.

Kennedy was convicted of raping a 28-year-old woman from Bristol.

He was found guilty of one charge of raping a 27-year-old woman from Middlesex

but cleared on a similar charge against the same victim.

He was also convicted of raping a 24-year-old woman from Bath.

Kennedy was acquitted of raping another 24-year-old woman, from London, and of

the attempted rape of a 24-year-old from Gloucestershire.

After discharging the jury from reaching verdicts on the eight outstanding

charges, Judge Jamie Tabor QC remanded Kennedy in custody to await a

decision from the Crown Prosecution Service on whether or not to seek a

retrial.
