The sister of a vile rapist who was seen climbing off an unconscious woman has been jailed after bombarding the victim with intimidating messages.
Jamie-Lee Fox, 37, had sent the woman raped by her brother a series of threatening messages on Facebook in a bid to get the victim to change her story to authorities.
Matthew Fox, 33, was arrested by police shortly after he raped the victim close to a car park in the city centre of Peterborough.
He was caught by traffic officers at the top of a ramp to a car park in Cattle Market Road, and was seen climbing off the unresponsive woman.
After he was taken into custody, the sex offender requested his sister, his cousin Alfie Smith 27, and mum Alison Quinn-Gajdur, 58, contact the victim on his behalf.

Matthew Fox has been jailed for 11-years after being found climbing off an unconscious woman near a car park in Peterborough
Fox wanted the woman to realise how serious this was so she would give an accurate statement.
Following this, the victim received several phone calls from an unknown number, later found to be Smith, who was trying to intimidate her into changing her account.
The rapists sister Jamie-Lee also attempted to contact the woman via Facebook messenger, whilst Quinn-Gajdur helped with contacting the victim and providing updates to her son, who was behind bars.
Sister Jamie-Lee Fox was handed a prison sentence of two years and eight months yesterday, having previously been found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
Their cousin, Alfie Smith was jailed for three-and-a-half years on Wednesday for the same crime.
The sex offenders mother, who was handed the same charge, walked away a free woman after being given an 18-month suspended sentence.
It comes shortly after 33-year-old Fox was handed an 11-year prison sentence last Friday after a trial at Cambridge Crown Court was concluded.

The court heard how officers caught Matthew Fox climbing off the unconscious victim as she laid on the ground in the early hours of July 22, 2022.
The pair were not known to each other but had met whilst drinking in a bar and leaving together, a jury heard.
CCTV operators monitored them as they left a nearby bar and alerted police after becoming concerned for the womans welfare, believing her to be highly intoxicated.
In a police interview, Fox claimed the two began kissing in the bar before walking to his car and having consensual sex in a doorway.
Traffic officers found the pair at the top of a ramp to a car park in Cattle Market Road, with Fox climbing off the woman who was laid unresponsive on the ground.
An ambulance was called who took the woman to hospital where she regained consciousness several hours later, and Fox was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
He was also sentenced for perverting the course of justice, after admitting the offence alongside his three family members.

Detective Constable Abbie McQuaid said: Fox took advantage of the woman being intoxicated.
She was in no position to consent to sexual activity and required medical assistance.
We have been working closely with businesses and partner agencies across the county to identify predatory behaviour and safeguard women and girls.
Thanks to CCTV operators who were concerned about what they saw, our officers were alerted and were able to intervene.
Anyone found to be interfering with an investigation and trying to pervert the course of justice will be dealt with robustly.
