The 56-year-old, formerly of Brierfield, but now of no fixed address, was arrested the day after the offence was committed. He was found guilty of attempted rape earlier this year and hauled back into the dock at Burnley Crown Court on Friday (June 14) where a Judge deemed him to be a 'dangerous offender'.
He was given a sentence totalling 16 years and nine months, which consists of eight years and nine months immediate custody, of which he will have to serve two thirds of before he is eligible for parole. He will then have to serve a further eight years on extended licence, reports Lancs Live.
Det Con Francesca Wheatley, of the force's East Child Protection Team, said: “Wood is a dangerous individual who presents a significant risk to female children because of his perverted sexual interests. I welcome this sentence which offers the public a great deal of protection from him.”
A police spokesperson added: "If you or somebody you know has been the victim of a sexual offence report it online via https://doitonline.lancashire.police.uk or call 101. Do this in the knowledge that you will be believed, listened to

Brent Lang Executive Editor When Michael Angarano was trying to get “Sacramento,” his indie buddy comedy about two friends who go on a road trip to a certain state capital off the ground, the question he’d get was always the same. Does it really need to be set in Sacramento? “At one point we were ready to shoot the movie in Atlanta — we had the financing and everything,” remembers Angarano, who directed the film, as well as co-wrote it. “And this was for a movie called ‘Sacramento.’ But it’s like why try to cheat it? Maybe, we should we just call it ‘Athens’ or ‘Savannah’?” And even though Angarano and his co-writer Chris Smith weren’t that familiar with the city that inspired their film, its appearance on a highway sign, informing them of the California city’s distance from Los Angeles, was foundational.
