When sentencing Hepburn, Judge Jim Tindal said: "It emerged in the trial you and Joe Clarke had agreed a pathetic, sexist game to collect as many sexual encounters as possible. You probably thought it was laddish behaviour at the time. In truth it was foul sexism. It demeaned women and trivialised rape - a word you personally threw around lightly. Only now do you realise how serious rape is.
"You thought you were God's gift to women. You did see her at that moment as a piece of meat, not a woman entitled to respect. You scarred both your lives forever."
