A man who violently attacked and raped a woman in Porth has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Curtis Green, 28, of Rhiwgarn Road, Trebanog, was found guilty at Cardiff Crown Court of raping and repeatedly assaulting his victim, despite her pleas for him to stop.
Judge Eugene Egan said during sentencing: “You were sexually turned on by the use of violence. You were powerfully built, fit and athletic… You brutalised the victim.”
The victim’s powerful impact statement detailed the lasting effects of the assault: “I cannot begin to explain the devastation and all encompassing effect this abuse has had on my life. The abuse lasted less than an hour but the trauma will last me the rest of my life. I stand before you today a completely different person to the one had I never met Curtis Green. I have become lost and emotionally numb, this person took away my basic human rights.”
Green will serve two-thirds of his sentence before release on licence and will be subject to indefinite restraining order and sex offender notification requirements.
