Drunken yob Connor King terrorised residents in two Folkestone properties after staggering out of a family wedding.

The 18-year-old broke into the properties in January when he launched a series of bizarre attacks.

A court heard how he forced two women, one with a seven-month-old baby, to lock themselves in a bedroom, tried to sexually assault a young man, punched another resident who went to help, and was spotted perched 25ft up on a window ledge trying to break into a house.

When police caught up with King, he told them: “I’m a terrorist!”

Now King, of Wellington Road, Folkestone, has been sent to a Young Offenders’ Institute for five-and-a-half years after admitting six charges of assault, burglary and sexual assault.

Dominic Connolly, prosecuting, told Canterbury Crown Court how two women and a baby were sleeping in a flat when they heard the kitchen door open and a man walked in.

“[King shouted] You’ve got money. I want money!”, before picking up a screwdriver and threatening to stab him. He then threw a TV at him" - Dominic Connolly, prosecuting

“He left but then returned and asked if one of the women had any alcohol. When she told him she didn’t have any he responded with a series of abusive swear words.

“He then walked towards her and grabbed her hand really hard, causing pain, and told her to come with him into another room but she managed to get away and ran upstairs and locked herself in the bedroom with her friend and a seven-month-old child.”

The drunken King continued to rant at other occupants threatening to kill them. He then attacked another resident punching him “between 20 to 30 times” in the head before sexually assaulting him.

He shouted: “You’ve got money. I want money!”, before picking up a screwdriver and threatening to stab him. He then threw a TV at him."

Another neighbour, who heard screams, went to help the victim and was assaulted himself, said Mr Connolly.

Mr Connolly said that after the attacks, which included stealing a gold sovereign ring, a wallet, a mobile phone and USB cable, King went next door.

There he woke a couple sleeping near their young child as he climbed in through an window.

The man shouted “What the hell are you doing?” and King replied “I am going to a party”.

Mr Connolly added: “The defendant was standing on his window ledge, 25 feet above railings. The police were called and King climbed down and went to sit on a wall.

“King was very aggressive, shouting “I’m a terrorist”, he added.

Phil Rowley, defending, said King was drunk and has no recollection of events that night.

He said King claimed that from the age of five he was used to help carry out burglaries.

“He has been given virtually no chance in life,” he added, “but he was hoping to start work and if it wasn’t for the night of drunken idiocy he would have started a career.”

Judge Heather Norton sentenced him to five-and-a-half years, telling him: “You embarked on a course of conduct that night which must have been terrifying for everybody involved.”
