Man drags physically challenged victim into home, rapes her several times
A man, Pascal Jombla, may face years behind bars for dragging a woman into his house and raping her six times before she was able to shout for help.
A UK court at Woodgreen, London found Jombla guilty of six counts of rape and two counts of actual bodily harm.
According to the UK Daily Mail, the court heard that, the accused dragged the victim into his home in Hackney, north-east London and subjected her to a horrific and sustained attack in which she was repeatedly raped, assaulted, left with a broken back and threatened that she would be killed if she did not keep quiet.
The victim who has mobility issues however was able to shout for help from the doorway after Jombla fell asleep. A passer-by came to her aid and called the authorities.
Jombla will be sentenced on March 30, 2023.
Speaking on the case, the investigating officer, Detective Constable Jean-Luc Argent said, “The victim continues to suffer the psychological effects of what was a truly despicable assault. She is a vulnerable woman who was incapable of defending herself against the callous and merciless actions of Jombla. He now faces a substantial amount of time behind bars, where he belongs.”
