A would-be rapist who told his two teenage victims 'When a woman doesn't want it, it turns me on,' has been jailed for ten years.

Peter Quinn attacked his young victims as they walked passed Faringdon Park on their way home from a Halloween party in the town centre.

The burly 23-year-old grabbed the girls and dragged them into the churchyard of St Mark's where he tried to force himself on them.

But the plucky victims managed to fight him off long enough so one could call the police and he fled the scene.

And after a police officer recognised the e-fit the girls had compiled as someone he had spoken to after spotting lurking close to the scene, Quinn was arrested.

He at first denied he had been involved in the terrifying attack but when a pubic hair recovered from a victim's breast came back as a match he admitted what he had done.

Now a judge has ruled he poses a significant risk of serious harm in the future meaning he will not be released until he had served two thirds of the sentence and he will then be on licence for an extra five years.

Hannah Squire, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court: "This was a terrifying attack on two young women late at night. It was prolonged and would have left them traumatised."

She said the 19-year-olds were in fancy dress as they made their way home at about 4am on Saturday November 1.

As the girls walked arm in arm on Church Place they were aware of a man running up behind them shouting things like 'Wey hay'.

At first they thought he was just another Halloween reveller having a good time but he put his arms over each of their shoulders and dragged them into the graveyard.

As he tried to force himself on the girls one took hold of his exposed genitals and squeezed, hoping it would discourage him.

He also swung his private parts into her face as he grappled with the two of them, touching the other girl's breasts.

Quinn demanded each carry out sex acts on him telling them he would rape her friend if they refused saying 'When a woman doesn't want it, it turns me on'.

Miss Squire said one of them managed to dial 999 saying 'Hello, police. Faringdon Park,' before he knocked the handset from her grasp.

He then ran off with them shouting 'rape' as a passer-by gave chase but lost him the alleyways of the Railway Village.

She said the attack had traumatised both victims, one having repeated nightmares, and the other feeling guilty as it was her idea they should walk home.

Quinn, of Bathampton Street, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted rape and one of sexual assault.

Richard Williams, defending, said his client could recall nothing of the night as he was out of his head on alcohol, cocaine and cannabis.

"He wishes me to apologise in open court to both of the victims. There is no one to blame for this but him," he said.

Quinn, who had sat with his head bowed in the dock as the evidence was read, stood with his arms crossed as he was sentenced.

Jailing him Judge Tim Mousley QC said: "What you did to them was the sort of offence that, mercifully, rarely comes before the courts.

"You created a living nightmare for these two young women which they still experience in nearly every aspect of their young lives and will continue to do so for perhaps the rest of their lives.

"One can only hope that the impact upon them will decrease over the years. These were sustained assaults on two young vulnerable women, significantly younger than yourself.

"I am satisfied that you were determined to force yourself fully on either or both of them in that church yard that night and what you did was accompanied by your making the most frightening threats to them.

"They showed enormous courage in resisting you. It was only as a result of that that you were prevented from reaching your wicked aims."

He imposed a ten years custodial term with a five year extended licence meaning he must register as a sex offender for life.
