Nicholas Courtney, Exeter Man, Jailed For Doing Some Very Unholy Things In A Cathedral

A man who climbed on top of a cathedral altar after pulling down his trousers, broke a crucifix and punched a 70-year-old woman in the face has been jailed. Nicholas Courtney, 35, claims he walked into Exeter Cathedral to pray before being overcome by the urge to "give everything to God". He placed £20 in a donation box by the high altar before stripping off his trousers - exposing his buttocks to horrified worshippers and visitors.

Courtney then ran to the cathedral's high altar and jumped on top, causing a cloth covering it and two candle sticks to come crashing to the ground.

Exeter Crown Court heard Courtney leapt off the altar and broke a crucifix, before fleeing by the cathedral's west exit.

He first smacked an outraged onlooker after she began reprimanding him but became angry when she hit him back. Courtney next targeted a 70-year-old woman who was posing for a picture with her young grandchildren ahead of her fourth course of chemotherapy. He punched her in the right eye, causing the grandmother to fall to the ground and break her wrist.
Stunned members of the public outside the cathedral were able to pin Courtney down and restrain him until police arrived. Tattooed Courtney later pleaded guilty to charges of criminal damage and inflicting grievous bodily harm. He was jailed for a total of 26 months at Exeter Crown Court today by Judge Jeremy Griggs.

For which he needs tissues.

Reminds me of a story through a friend of a friend, about a guy who got really messed up on drugs and then went to the freeway and stripped naked. When the police finally caught up with him and asked what he was doing, he responded, "I'm looking for the answers!"

Perfect story.

he must have escaped the mental ward what a goon

well at least we know what didge has been up to..lol

I stand corrected, 4 year old was too generous and kind, more like he has a 2 year old mentality, so embarrassing for him, bit hey he is after all part of this forum family, even if he is dysfunctional, we are all here to help.
