UK - A sex fiend who handcuffed a terrified woman to his bed and tried to strangle her has been jailed for life after a Judge branded him as a danger to the public.
Michael Enfield was still being investigated for the first sex attack when he pounced on a woman in an alleyway behind a night club and subjected her to a horrific ordeal.
Both women thought they were going to be raped and murdered and the second attack only halted when the victim’s screams caused a nearby resident to intervene.
Enfield, 26, was jailed for life at Exeter Crown Court when Judge Phillip Wassall ruled it was the only way of protecting women from similar attacks in the future.
The first victim was held captive for an hour and a half after being lured to Enfield’s flat in Barnstaple by the offer to repay a small amount of money he owed her.
Before she arrived he had laid out ties and a belt on the bed ready to be used to restrain her and he had a pair of handcuffs hidden under his pillow.
During the attack he hit her, threw her onto the bed and gagged her with socks. When she struggled he responded by using a bottle which he had ready beside the bed in the sex attack.
When the 20-year-old woman begged him to stop he became even more violent and strangled her until she thought she was going to die.
In the second attack, just seven weeks later, he threw the victim to the ground so violently she injured her back and put his fingers into her mouth to try to stop her screaming for help.
The woman pretended to pass out but it did not stop him and his response was to start removing his trousers.
Enfield, of Maldram Mill, Bear Street, Barnstaple, admitted two assaults by penetration and false imprisonment on the first victim and one assault by penetration on the second.
He was jailed for life and told that even though he will be able to apply for parole after six years, he will not be released until he is judged to pose no further risk to the public.
He told him: ”You have a very disturbing propensity to attack women for sexual purposes. I am satisfied you pose a significant risk of serious harm in the future.
“It is clear from the pre-sentence and psychiatric reports that the test for dangerousness is passed. You are unable to understand the attitudes and motivations which triggered you to commit these offences.
“Both these victims feared for their lives. You are unlikely to change without cooperating in programmes to address your offending and it is plain in this case a determinate sentence of imprisonment is not going to be enough.
“There are good grounds to believe you are you are likely to be a serious danger to the public for a period which cannot currently be assessed.”
Miss Emily Pitts, prosecuting, said the first attack happened on December 29, 2012, and led to the victim arriving at Barnstaple police station in the early evening after fleeing Enfield’s flat nearby.
She said she went there to pick up money she was owed but was thrown onto the bed, where Enfield already had ties and handcuffs ready to restrain her.
She was then subjected to a painful 90 minute sexual ordeal in which she was gagged, strangled, and assaulted with a finger and a bottle.
The next attack happened late at night on February 17, 2013, after Enfield left the Venue club in The Strand, Barnstaple, and assaulted her in an alleyway.
He put his hands inside her clothes and when she told him to stop he threw her to the ground and assaulted her again. She pretended to be unconscious but started screaming again when she saw him taking off his trousers.
Miss Pitts said: ”She was screaming loudly because she thought she was going to be raped. A resident heard her and shouted from his window for the defendant to stop and that was enough to get him to leave her alone.
“The victim personal statement shows the profound effect on her. She is trying very hard to put it behind her but knows she can never forget it happened.”
Mr Nigel Wraith, defending, said Enfield admitted what he had done, despite having no memory of the first attack and deserved credit for not making the victims give evidence against him.
He said: ”He did not intend to rape them but accepts it is something they may have feared from his actions. He is a young man with a decent work record.”
