A court in Melbourne has sentenced a man to 4-years in jail for raping his partner’s identical siblings on claims he assumed she was the one.The 24-year old was convicted of rape and indecent assault, the Herald Sun reports.
The man told police his victim is lying that she made sexual advances towards him – but the court discovered he had always fantasised about sleeping with her.
The woman who was staying with her sister and boyfriend following the end of her own relationship said the accused had entered her bedroom to talk to her, but later pulled off her clothes and raped her. He then called his victim’s sister claiming she had sexually assaulted him.
He told police the same thing but later told officers he thought the victim was his partner as they looked alike.
‘That was a bizarre thing to say given you’d been talking to [the victim] about her, and her issues, for over an hour,’ County Court judge Felicity Hampel told him.
The victim, who no longer speaks with her twin is said to have attempted suicide a dozen times since.
‘All I have ever wanted was for him to say sorry and admit what he has done to me,’ she said.
