Image: Sasko Lazarov via RollingNews.ie Image: Sasko Lazarov via RollingNews.ie A SEX ATTACKER had to be physically pulled from his victim by gardaí who responded to reports of a woman screaming for help in a laneway in Dublin city centre, a court has heard.This phone footage, as well as CCTV footage of Timorte’s movements, was played to the court.

Justice White paid tribute to the courage of the woman and noted the long-term impact of “brutal sexual assaults and rape” on victims.Paddy McCarthy SC, prosecuting, outlined to the court that Timorte and the woman, who were strangers, met that night just after 3.15am on Parnell Street as the woman, who had a lot of drink taken, was walking home alone from socialising with friends.

Detective Garda Les O’Rourke said Timorte, who had his pants down, was on top of the woman when gardaí arrived and had to be physically removed from her.The garda agreed with Michael O’Higgins SC, defending, that both parties had a lot to drink. O’Higgins asked the court to take into account his client’s guilty plea and the fact he was a foreign national who would serve his prison sentence deprived of access to his family.

She said during the incident she had fought against the man as much as she could and was in fear for her life. She said Timorte was strong and “out of control”. She described continuing to scream despite being hurt during the “extremely violent” attack.She described how she had to take preventive medications for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases following the attack as she waited for test results. She said the medications had “devastating effects” on her health and body.

He needs to get deported.....

A level of detail I think we don't wish to read !!

15 years, castration followed by deporting is the obvious sentence.

As opposed to verbally pulled...

Another foreigner and another ban for me for saying that.

More enrichment All cultures are the same Diversity is great
