Man given seven years for serious sex assaults in Bristol
Kaydon Hall of no fixed address admitted raping a teenage girl
A man has been jailed for more than seven years after admitting serious sexual offences in Bristol.
Kaydon Hall (20) of no fixed address pleaded guilty to raping a teenager and two counts of sexual activity with an underage girl, during proceedings at Bristol Crown Court.
His victims say Hall's attacks continue to impact them.
The rape victim said in her victim personal statement: “Generally day to day, I constantly feel I am looking over my shoulder.
“I know he is in prison but if I see anyone who looks like him I freak out and have to stop and tell myself it couldn’t be him as he is in prison.
“But it still reinvigorates the memory of what he did.”
Hall's second victim said: “What happened to me still remains at the forefront of my mind.
"I cannot escape it.
“I want to be able to forget it and move on but I can’t.
“It enters my mind several times of the day, there is no rhyme or reason to this.
"When it does, it makes me feel uncomfortable in my own skin and nauseous.”
Her Honour Judge Moira Macmillan in sentencing told Hall that his offending has had a huge impact on the victims’ lives and their mental health.
As well as receiving a prison sentence, Hall has been handed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and restraining order. He will also be on the sexual offenders' register for life.
DC Hannah Pinnell, officer in the case, said: "The extraordinary courage of these two young victims to report what happened to them and supporting the legal process cannot be understated.
"While the mental impact of what they were subjected to continues to affect their day-to-day lives, I hope in time they take great pride in what they have done in helping to bring this sexual predator before the courts.
“Without their bravery Kaydon Hall could still pose a danger to girls and women.
"Hall's horrific crimes are sickening.
"He lied through his police interviews in an attempt to avoid being brought to justice and we welcome the prison sentence he has received which will help keep the public safe."
