Man jailed after sex attack on girl’s twin

-

A MAN has been jailed for raping his partner’s identical twin sister – after claiming he got them MIXED UP.

The 24-year-old told police his victim was a liar and made advances towards him.

But the court heard he told her that he had always fantasised about sex with her.

The woman had been staying with her sister and her partner after ending a relationsh­ip.

She was sleeping in the spare bedroom when the man entered to talk to her, but later pulled down her clothes and raped her.

After the attack, he phoned his partner and said her sister had sexually assaulted him.

He repeated that claim to cops and then told officers he was confused because his partner and the victim looked identical.

County Court judge Felicity Hampel, sitting in Melbourne, Australia, said: “That was a bizarre thing to say given you’d been talking to the victim about her, and her issues, for an hour.”

The victim has become estranged from her twin since the attack.

She also told the court she attempted suicide more than a dozen times since.

She added: “All I ever wanted was for him to say sorry.

“This has totally ruined my life.” THE first female chief of the Cherokee Nation was called Wilma Mankiller
