A MAN described himself as a "sick pervert" and threatened to commit suicide after raping a woman in Ballymun last year, it was alleged in the Central Criminal Court in Dublin yesterday.
The 35 year old alleged victim, said that her attacker seemed to panic when she said that she was married. He jumped up and asked "what sort of sick pervert am I?" and added that he had done nothing like that before.
The woman told prosecuting counsel, Mr Joseph Mathews SC that the man had said he was "going to jump off the sixth floor". She told him to "go and do it if that's what he had to do".
A 28 year old accused man has, pleaded not guilty to the rape, oral rape, attempted anal rape, and aggravated sexual assault of the woman on waste ground at Ballymun, Dublin, during the early hours of March 18th, 1995.
The woman told Mr Mathews that she was grabbed as she walked past a man in the early hours of the morning. He held her by the hair, told her to keep her eyes shut and marched her to the back of a boiler house on some waste ground. He threw her on the ground and demanded oral sex. He struggled to open her trousers and then raped her for about five minutes.
The trial continues before Mr Justice Morris and a jury.
