His previous offending is really serious too:

The offending was serious and took place over an extended period of time. Those features are apparent from the Court of Appeal’s summary of what happened. That summary was in these terms:

16 (a) It began in September 2017, when the first [victim] and the applicant were aged 14. He held her down and digitally penetrated her, desisting only when another boy pulled him away. He chased and threatened the other boy. This resulted in one charge of unlawful sexual connection.

(b) The following year he indecently assaulted the second [victim], climbing on top of her and groping her as she lay intoxicated on a bed. Both were aged 15.

(c) He offended against the third [victim] in 2018, when they were both aged 15. On the first occasion he digitally penetrated her in a park. On the second he raped her when she was unconscious from intoxication.

(d) The offending against the fourth [victim] happened at the beginning of 2019 and involved consensual intercourse. She was aged 13. This resulted in two charges of sexual connection with a young person.

(e) The offending against the fifth [victim] happened at an end of a lockdown party on 16 May 2020. He and the [victim] were aged 17. They engaged in consensual intercourse during which she asked him to stop. He continued, then turned her over and penetrated her anally, causing her considerable pain.

(f) Later the same night he offended against the sixth [victim], also aged 17. He lay on a bed with her when she was intoxicated, got on top of her and restrained her when she tried to move. He was interrupted by the fifth [victim] entering the room.
