A teenage pervert who attacked four women after playing the controversial computer game Grand Theft Auto has been jailed indefinitely.

Groundsman Ryan Chinnery, 19, who became a sexual predator, prowling the streets in his car close to where he lived in Ashford looking for victims, will have to serve a minimum of four years before being considered for release.

Judge Philip Statman said: "I know part of this case referred to something called Grand Theft Auto. While it appears the defendant does not accept it influenced his conduct on that particular evening, it could not have helped him, I would have thought, in all the circumstances of the case."

Eleanor Laws, prosecuting, said the video game could well have played a big part in him committing the offences.
