He would presumably claim that it was consensual as his defence.
But would there be any evidence against him? Any witnesses?
I don't know the circumstances of the alleged rape, but it might be difficult to prove now.

the date of the alleged rape was the same as the murders according to this article.

Cambridge Crown Court heard that the defendant is accused of raping Louise on the same day, after the charge was added to the indictment against him on Thursday.

Crossbow victim Louise Hunt dumped killer boyfriend Kyle Clifford just a week before he murdered her after growing sick of his controlling behaviour, MailOnline can reveal.

Louise, 25, took the brave decision after former soldier Clifford 'imposed himself' on her life including banning her from wearing make-up, seeing male friends and staying out late without him.

Friends say she terminated their six-month relationship after finally tiring of him ridiculing her and telling her what to do.

Her last post on social media platform X - sent just six days before she was murdered - was a retweeted message which hailed those who decided to leave abusive and controlling partners.

I hadn't realised that he had acted so quickly after Louise had broken it off with him. I wonder if he already had the crossbow?

 

[Sweeper2000]

This is an incredibly shocking story. Six months is actually quite a short amount of time to eventually lead to this. That's an example of who Kyle actually is and guess what lots of people said how nice he was. Don't buy into the feelings folks and specifically ladies, easy to fake and I don't think they actually say much about a person.

That's so bad and happens way too often, recognise the signs and act on it. Think this should be taught at school as well. Boundaries are the first thing people should focus on but specifically the others capacity to recognise them and respect them. Nost are unfortunately oblivious to this kind if thing. I think it should be mandatory for police or services to check in on people like this and in response to a relationship that followed this pathway. That Poor family and some of the best as well.

"Crossbow killer Kyle Clifford's grim life in jail
'paralysed with damaged voice'.

When Clifford appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court,
the court heard he now uses a wheelchair.

As his case progressed at Cambridge Crown Court,
Clifford was seen on a videolink sitting in a wheelchair in his prison-issued grey tracksuit.

Police had previously revealed
Clifford had a 'voice injury',
limiting how loudly he could speak
and he could hardly be heard when he spoke to confirm his name and address in court.

According to the Prison Reform Trust,
disabled prisoners live with the general prison population,
and the facility must make 'reasonable adjustments' to ensure as much.

Most of the cells at HMP Norwich are single cells and he will likely be housed on the ground floor.

However,
those who need ongoing medical care stay in the hospital wing.

It is not currently clear how much care Clifford needs."

Wow, 2 sons of the family in prison for murder! I wonder if they are the only "children" of the family? And what the father is like? That's assuming he isn't in prison too. High time they learnt to control their ferocious tempers. And dialled down their pride and entitledness. And if there are other siblings, hopefully they have learnt a strong lesson.

Apparently another brother... I assume women are giving him a wide birth.

What a waste of money and court time. If found guilty, it will be another aggravating factor but I can't see him getting anything less than a whole life order for the three murders anyway.

Agree to a point, but if I was a surviving family member I’d want for both offences to be recognised.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't see anything to gain by it; on the contrary why would anyone want the stress of a trial and having all the grim details gone over again? Better to let it go and save everyone time and money.

Bushey crossbow killer: Jury sworn in for rape trial

Kyle Clifford previously admitted murdering Louise Hunt, her mum and sister, but denied her rape.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Her 61-year-old mother, Carol, the wife of BBC commentator John Hunt, sustained significant stab wounds to her knee, hands, back and torso following an attack by Clifford at the family home in the quiet cul-de-sac of Ashlyn Close.

Hannah, 28, was found in the main doorway of the house with a crossbow bolt to the chest and was still alive when police arrived at the property at around 19:10 on July 9.

Mr Hunt was among relatives who arrived at court for the trial on Monday."

I think we can infer who kyle thought was the reason for the breakup. truly shocking though I am aware of how often "overkill" is a feature of ex partner violence, probably a feature of acid attacks.

Has KC already been sentenced for the 3 murders? Or has this rape charge got to be finalised and a verdict reached before he will be sentenced for everything?

I think he's pleading guilty to the murders so no trial.

Just the trial for the rape then and hopefully afterwards the full sentencing?
