A woman who was raped by a former aide to two Prime Ministers is desperate to stop her attacker being moved to an open prison.
Mark Adams attacked the girl, then 17, in August 2017 as she walked home from a night out at the Edinburgh Festival. He was caged for seven years in March 2019.
Adams - who who worked in Downing Street under John Major and Tony Blair - was also sentenced to seven years imprisonment at Woolwich Crown Court in January of the same year for raping another woman in 2015.
His most recent victim has now launched a petition in a bid to halt his move from a high-security prison to an open jail after being informed his transfer had been approved.
Such a move, she said “would allow him escorted visits outside the prison, leading on to unescorted visits” before eventually being allowed “overnight home stays”.
The woman said: “Mark Adams has not yet served a single day in prison towards ‘my’ sentence.”
She added: “This man is a serial rapist who should not be allowed to move back into the community in any way, shape or form.
“I was a teenager when I was attacked. Mark Adams was 56. He is a danger to young women wherever he goes and should remain in a Category A prison.”
When he was sentenced for raping the teenager in Edinburgh, judge Lord Armstrong said Adams had taken advantage of a “vulnerable” young woman in a “calculating and manipulative manner” as she made her way home alone.

Christopher Nolan has confirmed that he will “absolutely” not be working on more films until after the Hollywood strikes end.This week (July 13), the cast of Nolan’s new film Oppenheimer walked out of the UK premiere at the moment an actors’ strike began.The national board of SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) – Hollywood’s largest union, which represents 160,000 actors and performers – voted unanimously to strike, according to The Los Angeles Times.SAG-AFTRA was seeking better pay and working conditions in the age of streaming, while other negotiations related to safeguards against the unregulated use of artificial intelligence in the industry.Thousands of Hollywood productions are therefore currently paused, and Nolan discussed the meaning of the strike in an interview with BBC News, saying: “It’s not about me.”Asked whether he would be working on new films during the strike, he responded: “No, absolutely. It’s very important that everybody understands it is a very key moment in the relationship between working people and Hollywood.“This is not about me, this is not about the stars of my film.”The AMPTP said in a statement that “a strike is certainly not the outcome we hoped for as studios cannot operate without the performers that bring our TV shows and films to life”.“The Union has regrettably chosen a path that will lead to financial hardship for countless thousands of people who depend on the industry,” it added.The separate WGA (Writers Guild Of America) strike, which began on May 2, occurred following unsuccessful negotiations with AMPTP, who represent major Hollywood studios like Netflix, Disney, Apple, Amazon, Paramount, Warner Bros.
Christopher Nolan sees the insistence by striking SAG-AFTRA and WGA members that studios and streamers limit the use of artificial intelligence stems directly from the explosion of streaming over the past decade-plus.
J. Kim Murphy Christopher Nolan expressed caution about artificial intelligence after a special screening of “Oppenheimer,” drawing a comparison between the rapidly developing technology and his new dramatic feature about the creation of the atomic bomb. Nolan’s remarks came during a conversation following a preview screening of “Oppenheimer” in New York. Moderated by “Meet the Press” anchor Chuck Todd, the panel included Nolan, as well as Los Alamos National Laboratory director Dr. Thom Mason, physicists Dr. Carlo Rovelli and Dr. Kip Thorne, plus author Kai Bird, who co-wrote “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” which Nolan’s film is based on.
Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan is supporting actors and writers and taking a step back from filmmaking as the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes continue.
Despite making some of the most ambitious and critically lauded sci-fi movies, Christopher Nolan is not a fan of modern technology when it comes to his personal life.
