A
rapist, assisted by a female accomplice, who took advantage of a
mentally-ill care home resident is starting a six-year sentence for
the depraved attack.
Jeffrey
Cormack, 49, (pic.top) of Stanstead Road, Catford was found guilty of
raping the 22 year-old woman at the Lewisham home, plus two counts of
sexual assault.
Woolwich
Crown Court heard Cormack was joined by Susan Hone, 48, (pic.bottom)
of Upper Brockley Road, Brockley in the sex attack committed August
2, 2012.
She
was deemed unfit to stand jury trial, but was found to have committed
two acts of sexual assault and will be sentenced on a future date.
The
sordid pair were visiting the vulnerable young woman, who they knew,
and Hone brought her something to eat.
She
then began to touch her inappropriately.
Despite
being told to stop she continued to undress and sexually assault the
victim.
Cormack
then sexually assaulted and raped the victim.
Detective
Constable Liz McAvoy, the investigating officer for the Sexual
Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse command said "The victim
in this case was spending an evening with people she classed as
friends.
“Cormack
and Hone made sexual advances toward the victim who rejected those
advances.
"They
ignored her protests and took advantage of the vulnerable woman.
“The
courage shown by the traumatised victim to report the attack to
police, whilst also receiving treatment for her mental health issues,
cannot be underestimated.
"I
hope her example will give others the courage to make that call."
