On the morning of the 14th of March last year, the woman awoke in her ground floor apartment to find a man on top of her with a scissors to her throat.
A Cork man has been jailed for fifteen years for raping a woman after climbing in her bedroom window while she was sleeping in her home in Tralee, Co Kerry.
Edmund O’Sullivan, of no fixed abode, was described by the survivor of the attack as a “danger to society.”
On the morning of the 14th of March last year, the woman awoke in her ground floor apartment to find a man on top of her with a scissors to her throat.
Edmund O’Sullivan had scaled a gate and entered her bedroom through a window that was slightly open.
He threatened to kill her if she didn’t have sex with him, and when she cried out for help, he started stabbing her in the face, head and arm.
To survive, the woman said she just stopped resisting and gave in to his demands.
O’Sullivan fled afterwards, but he was arrested a few hours later.
The court heard that just ten days beforehand, the 32-year-old had been released from prison for stabbing another woman in her apartment two years earlier.
Noting the “dangerous and escalating” nature of his offending, the judge directed he be closely monitored for eight years after he serves his fifteen-year sentence.
