Loading ...Burned rape victim to reunite with attacker
A WOMAN whose house was set alight while she lay unconscious after being raped has blamed herself for the attack.
The woman’s husband drugged and raped her three times in about two weeks. But the victim says she would do anything to make things right with her attacker. She has not provided a victim impact statement to authorities and yesterday gave evidence in support of her attacker.
“I was a real bitch, I know that,” the woman told a Victorian court yesterday. “It’s taken something as bad as what’s happened to snap me out of what I was. I think he deserves a lot more than what I’ve given him in the past.”
After the third rape last year, the man set fire to her bed and bedroom. When the woman came to, she had to jump out of a window to escape the flames. She went to hospital with burns. The court heard yesterday that the couple would restart their relationship when he was released from jail.
