A terrified scho olgirl fought off a19-year-oldsexattackerwho struck in broad daylight in a


Clitheroepark. Burnley Crown Court heard how Dylan Mawdsley ap­ proached the 14-year-old vic­ tim and her friend while they were sitting on a bench in the grounds of Clitheroe Castle at 2-30 pm on October 3rd. Mr St ephen Parker


(prosecuting) said Mawdsley, previously of Burnley, spotted the teenagers and walked past them. Five minutes later he returned and tried to strike up a conversation with them asking “if they were ok?” Both girls ignored him at which pointheaskedwhatwas wrong,


followedby:“Doyouwanttosee a big dick?” One of the girls then got


up and the victim - the other girl - was seconds away from following her when she was


suddenly grabbed by the defendant in a “bear hug”. Mr Parker explained: “The victim was terrified, panicking, screamingandtryingtokickthe deferidanttomakehimletgo.” ' The prosecutor added that


Mawdsley was thrusting his pelvisbackwardsandforwards to simulate sex. “The victim continued


to shout for her friend or for anyone else1 to help her when the defendant told her riot to

aged to break free arid a few minutes later found her friend in the grounds of the Castle and some lads nearby who all wenttothepolice to report the attack. She cannot remember howlong the attack lasted, but she was trying to break free for quite some time.” The next day, October 4th,


police responded to an emer­ gency call after a man threat-

practitioner carried out an as­ sessment. It was during this


that Mawdsley admitted the attack in Clitheroe and saidhe


hadbeenexperiencing “sexual thoughts about women, espe­


cially young women”. He was arrested and charged with sexual assault on a female con­ trary to the Sexual Offences Act 2003, to which he pleaded guilty. JudgeAndrewWoolman sentenced Mawdsley to a com­ munity supervision order for


two years and ordered him to complete a sex offender treat- mentorder.Hepointedoutthat


hehadalreadyserveds3daysin prison on remand and there­ fore it was important that he completed the order. He added: “I cannot imagine


what possessedyou to behavein this way in broad daylight. You simulated sex and you must have scared the life out of the 14-year-old girl. You were obvi­ ously in a very very bad way.” Mr Saul Brody (defend­ ing) told the court Mawdsley’s


prisonexperiencehadchanged him: “He has expressed genu­ ine remorse and admits his custodial experience hashum- bled him. He has had time to re- fiect on what hehas done, feels so ashamed and realises these- riousness of what hehas done."

“Wise, gentle, kind and stoic” were just some of the words usedin tribute to Waddington farmer Neil Spencer, who died last week after a short spell in hospital. Neil (72) was born in 1942


to farmers Harold and Gladys Spencer at the family home of Huckle Ing Farm in Gisburn. The youngest of three


children, Neil attended Gis­ burn Primary School with his brother Derek and sis­ ter Daphne, before moving on to Riversmead Secondary School (nowBowland High) in Grindleton. The family moved to Wad­


dington in 1954 and quickly settled into Brook House Farm in the village. Neil left school and went


straight to work on the farm, which was then both sheep and dairy, and his love of the fresh airandlocalcountryside thrived.

sizing of the family farm in the late 1980s, Neil went to work at Castle Cement, but always kept up his first ^ove of sheep farming, which he carried on with until just a few days be­ fore he died. Neil married second wife


Neil Spencer, (s) After marrying in his early


twenties, son Adam was born in 1971. Known in Waddington for


his sense of humour and kind­ ness, Neil was well-liked and played a huge part in village life, from turning out for the village badminton team to reg­

'His treasured grandchildren Laura, Max and Emelia were an immense source of pride in theyears that followed. Known throughout his life


as both a compassionate and selfless man, Neil will, as he wished, be remembered sim­ ply as “Waddington through and through”.
