A British sex criminal jailed for a terrifying alleyway assault on a defenseless young woman has been castrated in prison after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.Paul Catterall was sentenced to seven years behind bars after the savage cocaine-fueled attack on an 18-year-old woman in Bolton in July 2014, reports The Bolton News.
The 24-year-old had initially tried to kiss the teen.
But when she rejected him, he violently pulled her hair before launching into the brutal sexual assault.
His victim said that the violation had left her too scared to leave her own house.
"This person has completely destroyed my life. I feel like a prisoner in my own home," she said in a victim impact statement to Bolton Crown Court.
Catterall pleaded guilty to assault by penetration at a hearing in November.
During sentencing Friday, it emerged that Catterall was diagnosed with testicular cancer while he was on remand. His genitals were amputated.
Family friends of his victim said he had got what he deserved.
"It's apt that he did this, and has now had his testicles removed," one pal told Metro. "He is a brute and a monster," she added.
Another friend told The Bolton News: "I hope he rots. He should have been hung for what he did."
Catterall was previously convicted for putting his hand up a woman's skirt in 2009.
