Justice has been served after a teenage girl was horrifically raped by a man she had never met before in a UK town park. Travis Moore, aged 37, of Great West Road, Hounslow, was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Monday to 12 years and nine months behind bars. He will serve nine years and nine months in custody, with the remainder to be served on licence.
Moore was convicted by a unanimous jury verdict following a five-day trial at Reading Crown Court on May 5 this year of one count of rape, Thames Valley Police reports.
The predator unleashed his terror between 11.30pm on November 1 2025 and 1am on November 2 2025 in Slough’s most historic green space, Baylis Park – just five miles from Windsor Castle. Moore’s teenage survivor bravely dialled 999 soon after the attack.
Officers attended immediately and located Moore nearby. He was arrested on November 2 2025, charged the following day and remanded into custody.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Laura Bevan, of East Berkshire CID, said: “Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to the victim in this case. Throughout the investigation and court process she showed immense courage, dignity and patience. Coming forward to report such a traumatic offence and then supporting a criminal investigation and trial takes considerable strength.
“Thanks to her bravery, a dangerous offender has been brought to justice and can no longer pose a risk to other women and girls. Violence against women and girls remains a priority for Thames Valley Police. We are committed to tackling these offences, supporting victims and pursuing offenders relentlessly.
“I hope this sentence reassures victims that they will be listened to, treated with respect and supported throughout the criminal justice process. We will always seek to bring to justice those who commit offences of this nature.”
Thames Valley Police urges anyone who has been a victim of rape or sexual assault to report offences by calling 101 or making a report online. In an emergency, always call 999.
