A woman who was subjected to a horrific double rape felt so violated that she washed herself with Dettol in a desperate attempt to feel clean again. David Wilson, 49, from Winlaton, Gateshead, was sentenced to ten years in prison at Newcastle Crown Court after being found guilty of two counts of rape.
The court heard how the victim repeatedly pleaded with Wilson to stop during the attack, but he ignored her cries. Recorder Mark Giuliani told Wilson: 'You decided your desires and your needs were more important than her wishes. She was making it clear she wanted you to stop. You didn't.'
The victim's impact statement was described as 'chilling' by the recorder. She said she felt 'so dirty she couldn't even touch her own skin' and resorted to washing with Dettol. The recorder noted that the assault left her traumatised, scared, and deeply affected her life.
Wilson, of Garth Farm Road, denied the charges but was convicted by a jury. The court also heard that he has a history of violence.
