Ramsgate rapist receives 13 year prison sentence

JAILED: Oscar Love

A rapist from Ramsgate has been jailed for a series of violent offences.

 On Saturday 7 June 2025, police were called to a bar at Ramsgate harbour after a woman ran inside seeking help. She told attending officers that Oscar Love had assaulted her moments earlier on Ramsgate High Street.

Officers immediately began searching for Love and found him in Newington Road, where he resisted arrest before fleeing. He was detained a short time later after being found hiding in a garden.

An investigation was launched and the victim disclosed multiple other threatening and sexually violent incidents to detectives. Love was remanded in custody and subsequently charged with two counts of rape and six additional offences.

Following a four-day trial he was found guilty by a jury of multiple offences, including the rape charges. He has previously admitted separate offences of a breach of his existing Sexual Harm Prevention Order, assault and escaping lawful custody.

Today (April 30) at Canterbury Crown Court, Love was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Detective Constable Chris Harvey said: “Oscar Love is a violent offender who caused serious physical and mental harm to his victim.

“Tackling violence against woman and girls is a Kent Police priority and we will do all we can to bring offenders like him to justice. I urge any other potential victims or anyone with concerns about Love’s behaviour to contact Kent Police.

 “I also want to commend the strength of the victim throughout this case. Her bravery and continued support with the investigation made the conviction received today possible.”

  1. We’ll sponsor him for the next few years. Another parasite that will cause itching in our wallets. A short intervention in the QEQM would be much cheaper and effective. It shouldn’t be called neutering in this case. Just “Full removal of uncontrollable aggressive 3 piece weapon”

  2. Wich One of the Love family is he related to not many about in thanet .sick pervs need public stoneing. And left hanging in a cage in the town Square.

  3. One fact overlooked is that this creature is from Canterbury and has served time for really nasty DV offences committed when he lived there. Thought that was worth a mention before the ‘Normal for Ramsgate’ brigade pipe up.
