A rapist who was caught on baby monitor footage has been described as a \u2018danger to women and children\u2019. <\/p>\n

27-year-old Connor Pennell, from Skelmersdale, was jailed for nine-and-a-half years at Bolton Crown Court after detectives uncovered footage through a camera monitor that was saved to his phone<\/a> showing the horrific rape of a woman.<\/p>\n

The court heard concerns were raised back in July last year in Wigan when officers spoke to the victim who bravely came forward. <\/p>\n

Pennell had previously been charged with battery and strangulation, but further evidence resulted in additional charges including rape, non-fatal strangulation and three counts of voyeurism.<\/p>\n

Once arrested and interviewed,\u00a0Pennell\u00a0pleaded his innocence and even told officers his phone would back up what he was saying.<\/p>\n

But when officers retrieved his phone\u2019s data, they found Pennell had recorded footage on a baby monitor, including the horrific rape of the victim. <\/p>\n

The court also heard that on one occasion, the victim thought she was going to die after\u00a0Pennell\u00a0strangled her.<\/p>\n

In a victim impact statement, the woman said: \u2018I was a funny, bubbly, confident, loyal, young girl, and I had many friends who I loved and a whole family who I loved with all my heart and who loved me, I had a life and a future to look forward to.<\/p>\n

\u2018He stripped pretty much every aspect of my life away and has changed the course of my future. I\u2019m not the same person I was.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u00a0made me re-live it all, sitting in this court, surrounded by strangers watching videos of myself in an extremely personal state that haunts me. I have flashbacks of everything he has done to me and flashbacks of the trial.\u2019<\/p>\n

She said she hopes his sentencing will help other victims come forward and know their \u2018voices will be heard, and justice will be served\u2019. <\/p>\n
