The victim had become separated from her partner during a night out in Swansea after leaving her phone in a bar before Craig Aaroyo took her back to his nearby apartment.

It wasn't until later that morning that she was able to call her worried partner, who had reported her missing and was with police when she phoned in a "distressed" state.

The couple spent the night in the bars on Wind Street but in the early hours of January 1 became separated after the partner went back into a bar to retrieve his girlfriend's phone.After around four minutes the woman accompanied the defendant through the entrance gates of his nearby block of flats while "clearly unsteady on her feet". In the building the woman collapsed to the floor and the defendant carried her to the lift.

The woman was slurring her speech, shivering, and being sick. The court heard the woman gave a brief initial account of events saying the last thing she could remember was being in a bar on Wind Street then waking up alone in a bed and without her underwear. Aaroyo said he had put the woman to bed with a bottle of water and checked on her regularly for an hour before getting into bed with her.

Judge Paul Thomas KC said having seen the CCTV footage it was clear the victim was extremely vulnerable through intoxication and was in no position to make rational decisions. He said he had no doubt the defendant had an "ulterior motive" in taking the woman to his flat, and he said Aaroyo had dragged the woman "like a ragdoll" to his door.
