AN 18-year-old who raped a frightened teenager twice on successive days was today starting a two-year jail term.

Terence Lloyd had pinned his victim's arms down as she told him to stop.

The 17-year-old girl was physically shaking and was concerned about what he might be capable of, Burnley Crown Court heard.

Lloyd, a building renovator who has just become a father and who later said he felt guilty and admitted he had been cruel, was also placed on the Sex Offenders' register for 10 years.

Sentencing, Judge Barbara Watson said it was one of the saddest cases she had had to deal with for a long time.

She told the defendant the offences were not pre-planned or premeditated and in her experience men faced with such allegations invariably pleaded not guilty.

She added Lloyd had shown genuine remorse and his convictions would be a hard burden to carry both in custody and out in the community on his release.

Judge Watson continued: "There is nothing to suggest you pose a risk to women and I am perfectly satisfied you are not."

Lloyd of Sparth Road, Clayton-le-Moors, admitted two rape charges.

Philip Potter, prosecuting, told the court Lloyd had approached the teenager in a sexually provocative manner and began to touch her.

She thought he was messing about but he pinned her arms down and told her he just thought he was having a bit of fun.

The girl said no' but Lloyd had sex with her and left her scared and shaking.

The day after he got on top of the victim, told her he was stronger than her and again pinned her arms down and raped her.

The girl later told her workmates what had happened and police were called.

Mr Potter said the defendant later told police he was gutted and felt terrible about what he had done.

He still did not know why he had done it.

Louise Whaites, defending, said Lloyd accepted the seriousness of what he had done.

She said the offences involved no violence other than the pinning of the girl's arms, no weapon was used and there was no premeditation.

Miss Whaites said the defendant had perhaps been immature but had matured through the proceedings.

He had not offended since and had not been out.

He had been trying to come to terms with what happened.

She also said that Lloyd had to bear the consequences of the shame and stigma that the case had brought.

It had caused a considerable amount of distress to his family but they were supportive of him.

The barrister added that Lloyd had been suffering from depression throughout the case.

She added: "He will go into custody with the stigma that is attached to those who commit sex offences and that will make his sentence all the harder to bear."
