A RAPIST who attacked a sex worker in the street despite her desperate pleas for him to stop has been deemed a dangerous offender.

But when Philip Shaw and the sex worker walked towards a more secluded area for some privacy, he forced her over a nearby vehicle and attempted to rape her.

Deeming him a dangerous offender, Recorder Payne added: “I am required to consider the issue of dangerousness - that is whether there is the risk of significant risk of you committing further specified offences and whether there is a risk of you causing serious harm.

“I am satisfied that you do posses such a risk. In particular you present a high risk of serious harm to sex workers and those women in who you have a sexual interest.”
