A sex attacker got more than he bargained for when he preyed on a kickboxer who throttled him with her legs until he passed out.
The 25-year-old woman was walking home at 2am when Mark Willis, 39, repeatedly punched her and pushed her over a wall and into a garden.
He jumped on top of her and told her: ‘Be quiet and do as I tell you and you won’t get hurt.’
But his victim, who had been kickboxing for two years and knows self-defence, fought back, Gloucester Crown Court heard.
She said: ‘I swore at him. He hit me again in the face. He was grabbing at my clothing.’
She tried to apply an armlock which could have broken her attacker’s arm, but he wriggled free and punched her in the face again and again.
She said: ‘I was stunned for a moment. Again I could feel him grabbing me and pulling at my clothes.
‘My legs were free so I lifted my left leg up on to his shoulder and around the back of his neck. I crossed my right leg over and squeezed together as hard as I could.
The judge said he would ask the High Sheriff to pay the victim a £500 reward because of her bravery, saying it was ‘a tiny token of the court’s appreciation’.
