Norman Carr, 55, was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to raping a woman while on holiday in North Yorkshire.

Norman Carr, 55, of Byron Street, Wheatley Hill, County Durham, pleaded guilty to rape after assaulting a woman during a short holiday visit to North Yorkshire. He was sentenced to six years in prison at York Crown Court.

Judge Sean Morris, the Recorder of York, said the impact on the victim had been severe. 'It will take her years to be able to come to terms with this, if she ever does. This is something the woman is going to be living with for the rest of her life,' the judge said. He emphasised that she bore no responsibility for Carr's actions.

Carr will be placed on the sex offenders' register for life and subjected to an eight-year sexual harm prevention order, which will enable police to monitor his behaviour and place controls on his activities. He has also been banned from any contact with the victim for life. Carr's defence counsel said he was troubled by what he had done and wanted to apologise, noting that his imprisonment would cause problems for those closest to him.
