A chef subjected a woman to a sickening sexual assault.
"Extremely manipulative" Aaron Pressdee carried out the "humiliating" attack then called his victim a "dog", Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday afternoon.
The 37-year-old, of Frank Street in Widnes, was said to "not feel an ounce of remorse" over his vile crime. He has previous convictions for a total of 17 offences, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm - committed against a two-year-old child - and an assault in which he caused a "deep laceration" to a 17-year-old girl with a bottle.

Carmel Wilde, defending, told the court: "He clearly lacks internal restraint, influenced by his untreated ADHD and drug use. The defendant has struggled to process a number of bereavements and losses.
"He had an unsettled and traumatic upbringing. It is a very sneaky, mean and disgusting offence.
"He may not present a risk in a number of years when he is released. The defendant expresses a desire to pursue his previous work of cheffing."
Pressdee was found guilty of sexual assault after a trial, prosecuted by Matthew Dunford. Appearing via video link to HMP Altcourse, he was jailed for five years and handed an extended three-year licence period.
The defendant was handed a 10-year restraining order and told to sign the sex offenders' register for life. Sentencing, Judge Anil Murray said: "You thought you could commit this offence and she would either not have the confidence to report you to the police or you could talk you way out of it if she did go to the police.
"It is clear you feel not one ounce of remorse. You present as an extremely manipulative man."
