Three Cumbrian women have admitted sexually assaulting a man with a pair of scissors.

Shannon Jones, Paige Cunningham and Brogan Gillard committed the offence in Barrow on November 29 last year.

At Preston Crown Court, Cunningham, 22 and Gillard, 26, pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a male (non-penetration).

Jones, 20, entered a guilty plea to the same charge yesterday.

The trio entered not guilty pleas to sexual assault of a male by penetration and actual bodily harm.

They are said to have taken the man back to one of their homes and plied him with alcohol.

When he was passed out the trio are said to have filmed him, cut his hair and sliced veg over him.

One of them, Gillard, then waved a pair of scissors and asked the others, ‘Put in his bum?’ before parting his bottom cheeks, it has been reported.

Jones, of Brown Street, Barrow; Cunningham, of Robert Street, Barrow; and Gillard, of Brown Street, Barrow; will be sentenced on January 27.
