Karl Hill, a guy who recorded himself sexually assaulting an unconscious lady, has been sentenced to prison.
Karl Hill transmitted footage of the May 2023 incident to a friend of the victim, an action that “repeatedly traumatised” her, as stated in court.
Karl Hill, 54, of Beckbridge Lane, Normanton, was convicted of one count of assault by penetration at Leeds Crown Court and sentenced to seven years in prison on Monday.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said Karl Hill was a “dangerous individual who deserved to be behind bars”.
Det Ch Insp Natalie Dawson, of Wakefield District Safeguarding, said: “Karl Hill has repeatedly traumatised the victim in this case by not only sexually assaulting her, but then sharing a video of the assault with others and putting her through the further trauma of a trial by refusing to admit his guilt.”
“Women and girls should be able to live their lives free from the fear of violence and sexual violence and we are committed to ensuring that those responsible for offences such as this face justice for their actions.”
She added: “It is extremely concerning that this offence has taken place without the victim’s knowledge.
“I would urge anyone who has any concerns about their own or others’ interactions with Hill to please come forward.”
In addition to his prison sentence Karl Hill was also placed on the Sex Offender Register for life.
