They all took place in Rochester and included three counts of rape, an attempted rape, and two sexual assaults.
After being arrested, he was released on bail so detectives could build a stronger case.
While on bail he led officers on a dangerous pursuit which started in Strood High Street and ended in Forge Lane, Higham, in October.
During the incident, he drove on the wrong side of the road, skipped a red light and reached speeds of 80mph in a 40mph zone.
The initial consultation launched in October 2020 and lasted six weeks until November 12. Of the 184 responses, 16 raised concerns over parking, picking up and dropping off. The local ward member for Graig, Cllr David Williams, said he welcomed the proposal to increase the capacity of the school but has concerns over “the traffic that the larger school will generate and the impact on the community”. He said: “Some specific areas that will suffer are Court Crescent and the Griffin and I hope that as much as possible can be done at the design stage to mitigate these problems.” The project will cost around £28 million, with £16 million from the Welsh Government’s 21st century schools programme.
The initial consultation launched in October 2020 and lasted six-weeks until November 12. Of the 184 responses, 16 raised concerns over parking, picking up and dropping off. The council report says the additional capacity is to “accommodate pupils living in the new housing developments at Jubilee Park and Tredegar Park Golf Club. It says: “Both developments are within easy walking distance of the school, and highways infrastructure for these developments has already been put in place. “The council’s highways team has acknowledged issues relating to the traffic lights around the Bassaleg roundabout and the likely impact of the pupil and associated staff increase is being assessed and will be addressed within the planning application process for consideration as appropriate.
