A man who was jailed after accidentally shooting a woman in the vagina during a kinky sex game has had his sentence slashed.
David Andrew Jeffers left the woman in agony and fled after the shotgun went off during a drink and drug-fuelled sex session at a Stockport hotel.
The 48-year-old dumped the gun on the way to catch a train home to Leeds and then changed his appearance, cutting off his dreadlocks, to avoid being caught.
But after he was tracked by police to Yorkshire, he was jailed for 10 years last August for having a gun with intent to endanger life at Minshull Street Crown Court.
The Court of Appeal in the UK heard today how Jeffers and the unnamed victim had spoken about her fantasy of having a loaded gun placed in her vagina
But today, after an appeal by his lawyers, three top judges at London's Court of Appeal said Jeffers had been hard done by and cut his sentence to eight-and-a-half years.
Ruling, Mr Justice Morris said Jeffers did not have the gun to commit crime and that the woman was up for the "dangerous act".
Prior to the meeting last year, Jeffers, of Berkeley Terrace, Harehills, had sent her a message referring to "dat ting you want up ya".
They had spoken about her fantasy of having a loaded gun placed in her vagina, said the judge.
And although Jeffers' finger had been on the trigger at the Britannia Hotel, in Offerton, it was a complete accident that the antique rat-eliminating shotgun had gone off.
It caused her "catastrophic" and "life-changing" internal injuries, which had a "devastating" impact on the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
