A sex attacker broke down in tears today as he was jailed for eight years for raping a woman who gave him a lift.
David Sam Jones, 23, wept in the dock as sentence was passed at Caernarfon Crown Court .
Jones, of no fixed abode but from the Wrexham area, was convicted of rape, violence, threats and intimidation against his victim aged in her 20s.
He attacked the woman while already serving two suspended sentences - one for drug offences and the other for driving offences.
Simon Rogers, prosecuting, said Jones took advantage of the woman’s good nature after she gave him a lift in Blaenau Ffestiniog last year.
Mr Rogers said the woman agreed to drop Jones off at a caravan park in Wrexham.
He said: “Towards the end of the drive the defendant asked her to pull over in a layby so he could have a cigarette.”
The court heard Jones asked her for a kiss and when she refused he began to choke his victim before raping her.
"Feared for her life"
Mr Rogers said the victim “genuinely feared for her life and could not breathe” with Jones’ thumbs pressing against her windpipe.
Jones then fled the scene.
On November 6 he was charged and placed on remand.
Six days later from prison he rang his victim and threatened her in a bid to force her to drop the case.
The court heard he told her: “You better drop the charges or I’ll burn your house down with your family in it.”
Judge Parry told him: “She was confined to her car, you struck her, choked her before raping her.
“She begged you to stop and she genuinely feared you were going to kill her.
“While on remand you made serious threats to your victim, a serious attempt to pervert the course of justice.
“All this while on two suspended sentences.”
