A Morecambe man has been jailed after admitting raping a 16-year-old girl.
Jonathon Downie met his victim at a party, and after luring her back to his flat, gave her alcohol, and started sexually touching her.
Despite her pleas for Downie to stop, he continued to rape her.
Eventually, the victim managed to push him away.
Downie proceeded to ask her “did I rape you?” when she replied “yes, why didn’t you stop when I told you to?”, he responded “are you going to get me done?”
An investigation commenced, and Downie was arrested on suspicion of, and later charged with, rape and sexual assault.
Downie, 25, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to rape at Preston Crown Court and has been sentenced to five years in custody.
DC Charlie Brown, of Lancashire Police’s Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team said: “Downie’s victim has been incredibly brave, and has shown immeasurable strength, despite her young age.
“Downie is a predator, and his behaviour is perverted. I welcome the sentence handed down on him today.
“This sickening behaviour will never be tolerated in Lancashire. To any victims of a sexual offence, please come forward. We will listen to you, we will investigate, and we will do all we can to bring the person responsible to justice.”
If you, or someone you know have been a victim of a sexual offence, you can report it on 101. If a crime is ongoing, call 999.
