He had suffered the 'trauma' of losing his parents while also living with several personality disorders - but a judge insisted people working as escorts deserved protection, North Wales Live reports. Goldsmith, from Menai Bridge, booked the session with a Mancunian escort on December 5, The court heard that the session was to include consensual sexual intercourse, which took place as planned. However, when the escort returned to Manchester and tried to cash the cheque, it wasn't honoured.
This breached an existing Criminal Behaviour Order not to pay by cheque, from a previous offence. On a second occasion, the court heard Goldsmith engaged the services of another male escort on July 18, But these two cheques were not honoured either. This was a further breach of a Criminal Behaviour Order.
On a third occasion, Goldsmith booked another male escort on August 9, Goldsmith took the sedative GHB and was behaving 'oddly and erratically'. The male escort decided not to take it himself. This also breached a Criminal Behaviour Order. Soon afterwards, police found the defendant with cannabis and GHB. Prosecutor Brian Treadwell read out victim statements. The first male escort, from Manchester, said Goldsmith had 'lied to him over and over again'. His dealings with the defendant had affected him physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially and sexually.
He feels he has lost his 'dignity and decency'. The second victim said he felt 'gullible, stupid and thick'. He confided in a work colleague who asked him: "You actually fell for that? He said he is warier and listens out for scams because 'he has been a victim of one'. The incident involving drugs had been 'sophisticated'. She said: "I'm satisfied you do suffer not from one mental disorder but from several mental disorders, the most difficult of which are personality-based disorders.
