Description
David Wrennall took advantage of the young girl when she had passed out
A pervert has been jailed for feeling up a paralytic 16-year-old and pleasuring himself over her.
David Wrennall, 44, targeted the girl after she had passed out at a gathering.
Wrennall, previously of Goonhavern but who has since moved to Lancashire, appeared at Truro Crown Court for sentence having pleaded guilty to three sexual assaults.
Prosecuting the case, Heather Hope said that Wrennall had supplied young people with alcohol at the gathering.
Miss Hope described how the victim in the case had never really drank and that following a can of cider and potentially some rum, she remembers very little.
She became unwell and vomited and was put in the back of a car by Wrennall.
People at the gathering were alarmed by how Wrennall put her into the car.
Wrennall left her for a time before returning and touching her on the breast. He again left her before coming back and touching her pubic area over her underwear.
Wrennall moved away and returned a final time and began pleasuring himself to the point when he ejaculated over the victims face and hair.
Miss Hope said: She was aware to some extent and tried to push him away but was in no fit state to put up any sort of resistance.
She had a further panic attack and the defendant put his hand over her mouth which increased her panic and fear and led to her passing out.
Miss Hope added that the victim was eventually taken home and police were called.
Wrennall made full admissions in interview and the effect on the victim is said to be life-changing and utterly devastating.
Representing Wrennall, Rupert Taylor said that he made full admissions from the off and wishes to make an abject apology. The court also heard how his wife left him as a result of the incident and he now lives alone in the north of England.
Sentencing, Judge Simon Carr said Wrennall would have been aware of just how ill the victim was but chose to make the inexcusable decision to put her in the car as he didnt want his wife to find out hed been supplying alcohol to young people.
He said: The victim has limited memory and was whats probably best described as in and out of consciousness. This would have been obvious.
Judge Carr went onto state the breaks between each offence were for Wrennall to check he wasnt being watched and that after each period of time to reflect, he continued to behave in such a way to fulfil his own sexual gratification.
Judge Carr said Wrennall took advantage of someone who was extremely vulnerable.
Wrennall was jailed for two years and must sign the sex offenders register.
Certain aspects of the case have been left out of this report to protect the victim's anonymity.
