A HEREFORD teenager has been jailed for six years after filming himself committing rape.

The victim was unconscious when Callum Davies sexually assaulted her for two hours.

Davies, 19, from Newton Farm, recorded himself raping the woman on his mobile phone and saved the footage down under the title “whilst she slept”.

The victim, who had been drinking, knew nothing of the attack until she was told by the police.

Hereford Crown Court last Friday heard that the police had been contacted after the victim told her father that she had found naked pictures of herself on Davies’ phone.

Simon Phillips, prosecuting, said the photographs had been deleted by the time investigating officers looked at the mobile but the video footage was discovered.

Mr Phillips added that Davies had been friends with the victim but they were not in a physical relationship.

He had undressed her before raping her and then put her pyjamas back on.

The victim had written a statement which was read out to the court.

She wrote that she could no longer trust men and had lost her job as she struggled to focus and understand what had happened.

“I have had countless sleeping nights and recurring nightmares of being raped,” she said

“I wanted to clean myself continually and kill myself. I did not want to be the girl who had been raped.

“This will always haunt me and stay with me for the rest of my life. The scars will never fade.

Anna Midgley, defending, said Davies, who was was 17 at the time of the offence, was very young and very naïve and had no history of sexual deviancy.

Judge Nicholas Cole said references described Davies as “polite, quiet and shy”.

“But there was nothing polite about your actions that night,” he added.

He gave Davies, who pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration, a six-year sentence in a young offenders’ institute. He was also placed on a sexual prevention order.

Speaking after the sentencing, Julia McSorley from the CPS said: “This is a distressing case and it is difficult to envisage a more horrifying discovery for the victim.

“The offender breached her trust and violated her whilst she slept. The impact of which will stay with her for a long time.”
