Sick Sheldon Wride, 26, attack only ended the bloody attack when terrified victim jumped naked out of bedroom window

SWNS

A man who sexually assaulted his helpless victim with a baseball bat in a "Tarantinoesque" torture attack has been jailed for more than three years.

Sick Sheldon Wride, 26, laughed as he carried out the humiliating abuse on an unnamed man, who only escaped by jumping naked out of a bedroom window.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been drinking at Wride's home when the defendant viciously attacked him in a way that "beggars belief", according to a judge.

Bristol Crown Court heard how the degrading assault including Wride kicking and punching his victim, urinating on him and smearing gel and spraying aerosol on his naked body.

He also fired nuts at him from a catapult and threatened to castrate him with knives before sexually assaulting him with a baseball bat.

Wride, from Horfield, Bristol, was originally charged with sexual assault but pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm and actual bodily harm.

Hearing: Wride appeared at Bristol Crown Court where he was jailed for 40 months

Sentencing him to 40 months behind bars, Judge Martin Picton told him: "You engaged in an exercise of torture and humiliation. Your victim was utterly terrified and degraded.

"He was caused extreme physical and emotional pain. He had done nothing to provoke your senseless and cruel behaviour.

"That you could treat someone who prior to this night would be classed as your friend in this appalling fashion, frankly, beggars belief."

Fiona Elder, prosecuting, told the court the men had been drinking heavily and taking cocaine before Wride "switched" and accused his guest of telling police he was involved with drugs.

The man denied doing so, but Wride punched him to the face and ribs, kicked him in the stomach and said he was going to perform a sexual act on him.

Miss Elder said: "(The victim) was made to take off his clothes and go on all fours, where he remained.

"He had gel put in his body and at one point Mr Wride stood over him and urinated over him. He had aerosol cans sprayed on him.

"He was threatened that a bicycle pump would be placed in his anus, which didn't happen. He was threatened with knives and told he would be cut up. Mr Wride threatened to cut off his genitals."

The victim was told to sit on a chair before Wride smashed a cupful of nuts over his head.

It was then that, under threat of being stabbed, he was told to bend over and Wride inserted the baseball bat into him.

Miss Elder added: "It was extremely painful. He screamed, he was bleeding and shaking, He curled up into a ball. Mr Wride found it funny and was laughing.

"He begged him to stop and Mr Wride said he would stop if he was paid £20,000 a week."

Wride then placed his victim in the corner of the room, picked up a catapult and fired nuts at his back.

Eventually the victim seized his chance and jumped naked from a window, some six feet off the ground, before putting on some boxer shorts and running to hospital.

After arriving at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, he told staff what had happened and said he was suffering "nine out of ten" pain.

He was found to have a tender left rib, bruising around his eye, right temple and cheek, a ruptured ear drum, six circular bruises to his back and bleeding.

Raymond Tully, defending, said: "A truly awful case. Grotesque, nasty, vicious, bizarre, staggering. It beggars belief. Its Tarantinoesque.

"What he did that day was truly awful. It is not a particularly satisfactory explanation to lay before the court."

The judge banned Wride from making any contact with his victim, including by social media, and ordered him to be deprived of knives and other items used in the course of the attack.

A breach of the indefinite restraining order could result in a further prison sentence of up to five years.
