A PARA was jailed for 22 years for terrifying sex attacks on three women as they walked alone in the early hours.
Private Joshua Jolly, 27, who served in Afghanistan, left his base in St Athan, Wales, to stage the attacks in Cardiff.
Jason Howells, prosecuting, told how one woman was walking to work when she noticed Jolly walking behind her.
He said: “She turned round several times and noticed that he was still following her even though she’d crossed the road and was hiding behind a van.
“Jolly then ran up behind her and dragged her to the floor as his victim screamed for him to stop. He told her to be quiet and said he wanted to have sex.”
Jolly then banged her head against the pavement and penetrated her with his fingers before running away down the street.
