    Det Con Gary Thomas said: “This was a particularly vicious assault on a young girl and the level of force used was sickening. It has left the victim scarred for life."

    He added: “The sentence handed down by the courts should act as deterrent to people who commit such a crime whilst intoxicated. This shows that the courts will not accept alcohol as some form of mitigation.”
