Sebastian Smith, a Brynmawr rapist who sexually abused a woman while they viewed a military film on Netflix has been incarcerated.
Sebastian Smith, 26, from Brynmawr, restrained his victim on a bed and disregarded her pleas as she implored him to cease the assault.
Subsequent to the assault, the defendant implored the victim not to notify the authorities regarding his actions.
During Sebastian Smith’s trial, John Ryan, prosecuting, said the victim told her attacker: “I feel sick to the stomach. I told you to stop.”
Jurors were told the defendant replied: “I done wrong. I really hate myself.
“Please don’t go the police. I’m begging you. I’m shaking like a leaf. I’m dying here myself.”
Sebastian Smith, of George Street, was found guilty of rape and sexual assault by penetration.
He had denied both charges against him.
When Sebastian Smith was arrested and questioned in 2020 he gave police a prepared statement in which he said he and the woman had intercourse consensually.
He said that it was she who had started kissing him and initiated sexual contact between them.
Giving evidence in his defence at his trial at Cardiff Crown Court, Sebastian Smith was asked by his barrister Jenny Yeo to tell the jury what happened.
He told them: “We were play fighting and kissing.
“She then put her hands on me between my legs.”
Sebastian Smith said he had put his penis inside her but she had told him, “No”.
The defendant insisted: “As soon as she said no I went straight out.”
Mr Ryan played a recording of the 999 call the woman had made to the police following the two assaults.
She told the emergency services operator: “I went to his house to watch a film.
“He put his hand down my trousers.
“I told him to stop it.”
The victim added: “I did touch him and said to him, ‘How would you like it if I touched you?’
“I told him I didn’t want to do it.
“He pinned me down on the bed and pulled down my trousers.”
Sebastian Smith was jailed for five years and five months and has to register as a sex offender for life.
