A sex attacker jailed for assaulting a teenager in an alleyway has had his testicles removed while in custody, a court was told.
Paul
John Anthony Catterall, 24, was sentenced to seven years and eight months for
the attack on an 18-year-old woman.
He
initially said they had shared a mutual kiss but later admitted this was a lie.
Bolton
Crown Court also heard he was convicted in 2009 of another attack in which he
put his hand up a woman’s skirt.
During sentencing, Judge Timothy
Stead was told that while on remand Catterall was diagnosed with
testicular cancer and had to have them amputated.
Catterall,
who was high on cocaine, met his victim outside En Vogue in Bolton and walked
with her across the town. He went in to kiss her but when she rejected him he
pulled her hair and sexually assaulted her.
His
victim described how the attack left her unable to go out, resulting in a loss
of friendships.
Catterall
was described as a drug and alcohol addict and suffering depression as a result
of a difficult relationship.
Another
furious friend of the family said: ‘It’s apt that he did this, and has now had
his testicles removed. He is a brute and a monster.’
