Adam Martin, a 19-year-old r*pist who left his victim half n*ked in a 'terrible state' after dragging her into a park has been jailed for 14 years.
According to Metro UK, Adam Martin, told the woman 'Calm down, it will be fine when it's all over' during the ordeal, then called a taxi leaving her alone and terrified.
She was a virgin when he targeted her group of friends after a night out, asking to share a taxi with them although he lived in the other direction and didn't know them.
The woman, in her twenties, was the last one in the cab after the others had been dropped off, and Martin forced her into a deserted park and attacked her for an hour.
After he left, the traumatised woman crawled into the middle of the road nearby where she was seen by a nearby resident, wearing no lower clothing, distressed and frightened with cuts, bruises and scrapes all over her body.
She left her phone, bank card, shoes and underwear in Roker Park, Sunderland, while she crawled for help after the attack in November last year.
Prosecutor Christopher Knox told the court: 'Bodycam footage of the police who attended showed she had twigs in her hair, her make-up was smudged, her lip was swollen and burst with dry blood on it.
'All she was able to tell the police was, "He forced me to have sex in the park".'
The court heard Martin used his body weight to put pressure on his victim's neck during the r*pe.
'There was clearly a great deal of violence used on this young woman, she was in a terrible state,' Mr Knox said.
At the time of the attack, Martin was on a bail for meeting a 14-year-old child he had befriended online and 'hugged and caressed' on a field in Sunderland.
Judge Sarah Mallett sentenced Martin to 14 years behind bars with a lifelong sexual harm prevention order and sex offender registration.
'You recognised how drunk she was outside the club and got into a taxi with her, despite it gong in the opposite direction,' the judge told him.
'You forced your victim to have s*x against her will.
She had not had s*x before.
'You took advantage of her drunken and vulnerable state. You left her half naked, in a public place, freezing cold, in the early hours of the morning.'
His defence lawyer said he'd had a very difficult childhood, limited intellectual capacity and has been the subject of violence and verbal abuse while on remand, due to the nature of his offending.
Martin, of Joan Avenue, Ryhope, Sunderland, denied r*pe but was convicted by a jury.
