A DODWORTH dad who took a teenage girl to the woods to have sex with her has been jailed for more than five years.
David Woodock, 38, of Barnsley Road, started talking to the youngster on Facebook before the pair arranged to meet in Sheffield in April 2019.
Judge David Dixon told those at Sheffield Crown Court that if she had been just months younger, Woodcock would have been facing a charge of rape rather than sexual activity with a child.
He added: “She has now started self-harming, cutting herself with a blade because of the five minutes you thought you were entitled to.
“I hope your selfish, arrogant and pathetic act was worth it, because that is what you have done to her, to her mum, to the rest of her family.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
