Description
A man convicted of attempting to rape a girl under 13 was jailed for 11 years today. Ryan Linden Williams, 37, of Hendre, Corwen, had a prior sexual offense on his record.
He must register as a sex offender for life, with a 25-year sexual harm prevention order and a four-year extended license period.
At Caernarfon Crown Court, defense counsel Myles Wilson noted Williams' strong work ethic, adding: "He continues to deny this offence."
The court heard he stopped the attack when asked.
Judge Timothy Petts described the relevant side of Williams' character as "very concerning indeed," stating: "Only an immediate prison sentence will do."
