Bridesmaid reveals how her friend went on to marry rapist Army captain just three weeks later - and is still standing by him after he was jailed for seven years

Army captain Daniel Howard, 29, (inset in custody and, above, on his wedding day) was jailed for seven years last week but his new wife April, 26, refused to postpone their wedding and has stood by him. The Sandhurst graduate's victim, 26, did not go to the wedding four weeks ago fearing 'it could happen again'. Howard raped his victim when she was a guest at his home as his fiancée, now his wife, slept in the room next door.
