<span style="font-weight: bold">Victim says...RAPE ORDEAL WAS FINE </span>- Only took case to court because she was chopped
For many, being raped is a lot to bear. However, one victim told the court recently that her experience would have been fine if her alleged attacker had not chopped her several times.
During the court case, it was mentioned that she was raped and chopped at least three times during the incident in 2007.
Allegations read in court are that on August 12, at 2:30 a.m., a masked man broke into the woman's house in Townhead district, Westmoreland, while she was asleep and proceeded to tie her hands.
It was further reported that the man raped the woman, waited for his erection to return and raped her again, waited for a third time and again performed the act.
The court was told that while the attacker was waiting for the third round, his victim managed to loosen the rope. She then waited for him to come close and dragged off the mask.
It was said that the attacker then bit her and she defended herself by also biting him. The attacker, who had been armed with a machete, chopped her on the left shoulder, left hand, left foot, right hand and in her head before escaping.
The police were summoned but the alleged attacker was said to have fled the area. The accused man was later held and handed over to the Westmoreland police, following a minor run-in with the law in Clarendon.

The accused is also being questioned to determine if he was involved in the gruesome rape and murder of eight-year-old Shaneka Shakes and nine-year-old Shanna-Kay Ledgister, which occurred in the same district in 2005. DNA samples were also taken from him in relation to these matters.
Police reports are that on June 30, the two children were found dead in cane fields near Burnt Savannah in the parish.
