Two men who plied a pair of 14-year-old girls with alcohol and amphetamines before having sex with them at a party have been spared jail because it was 'consensual'.
Lee Pollard and Mark Allen, both 26, were given suspended sentences after being convicted of sexual activity with two girls under the age of 16.
Pollard, of Torquay and Allen, of Chudleigh Knighton, were described as 'baseball cap and gold chain wearing chavvy types' by one of the victims' fathers.
They were given 15-month prison sentences, suspended for two years and were ordered to go on a sex offenders' rehabilitation course.
Allen will have to carry out 125 hours of unpaid community work.
Nicholas Fridd, defending Pollard said the matter was 'water under the bridge' due to the amount of time it had taken to come to court.
Rupert Taylor, defending Allen described him as a 'simple soul'.
But the victim's mother replied: 'What kind of 'simple soul' feeds drugs and alcohol to a child?
Fair question...
