Violent double rapist is jailed for 16 years
TEENAGER ATTACKED GIRL OF 14
A VIOLENT teenager who raped two women - including a girl of just 14 - has been jailed.
Corey Nesbitt targeted his first victim on social media, luring the 14-year-old to his home before forcing himself upon her.
Months later, the violent 19-year-old struck again after meeting a woman in West Park, South Shields, and telling her: “I am going to rape you like you’ve never been raped before.”
Nesbitt was sentenced to 16 years behind bars at Newcastle Crown Court on Tuesday, with the judge also handing him a five-year extended licence period.
After the case, one of his victims bravely spoke out about the “most horrific experience” of her life.
She said: “Although I am thankful that he did eventually plead guilty and did not make me go to court, he did not do this until the Corey Nesbitt, 19, was jailed in Newcastle for raping two victims day of the trial. He still left me thinking I was going to have to stand in court and talk about the most horrific experience of my life in front of strangers and him.
“My whole life has been on hold since the incident.
“No sentence will be long enough to reflect the pain and hurt he has caused me.
“Because of him, I am now serving a life sentence as I feel like I will never be able to put this behind me.”
Nesbitt, of Saint Jude’s Terrace, first struck in March 2017 after contacting his 14-year-old victim on social media.
He forced himself upon her at his home address, and the vulnerable girl later reported it to a parent.
Nesbitt’s next attack was in November of the same year, meeting a 21-year-old woman and moving her to a secluded area before raping her twice.
The victim was eventually able to flee and flag down a taxi, and reported the incident to police.
Nesbitt was arrested the next day in the early hours after officers investigating a report of a burglary at a business on Sea Road, South Shields, found him drunk inside.
Detective Constable Hayley McIntosh, of Northumbria Police, praised the bravery of the victims in coming forward.
She said: “I am pleased to be stood here knowing that Nesbitt is now behind bars and is unable to carry out any further appalling acts of this kind.
“He is clearly a danger to society.
“He preyed on both of his victims, first earning their trust before subjecting them to horrific ordeals.
“Nesbitt must live with the consequences of his actions and know he has caused enormous hurt to his victims and their families.
“Although the sentence cannot take back what the victims have been put through, I hope it can bring some sort of justice. They have both shown incredible bravery throughout this investigation.
“I would encourage any victim of rape or sexual assault to look at this sentence and come forward. You will be taken seriously and will be offered the specialist support you need.” AN asylum-seeker told a court how £50 he had spent seven months saving was snatched from him by thieves.
But it was Marek Ludik who was taken to court after he smashed a window in frustration as he told police: “I want to die.”
Smuggled into Britain from war-torn Kosovo as a teenager, for 18 years he’s been unable to work.
He survives, South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court heard, on a £35-aweek pre-paid card for groceries.
But the 33-year-old lashed out after some of his prized possessions were looted from the Jomast property he lives at - by former occupants.
The thieves, themselves Kosovan asylum-seekers, went drinking with Ludik on July 9. But they broke into his room taking the cash along with a watch and phone.
Northumbria Police were called amid reports of a knife fight. When officers arrived they found “distressed” Ludik cut, the court heard.
Ludik opened up to police during interview.
“He said to them that he wanted to die,” the prosecutor said.
“He then punched a window and the police were outside the property and then glass nearly missed them down below.”
The Otto Terrace property had been the scene of “a lot of problems” not caused by the defendant, the court heard. In court Ludik revealed how devastating the theft had been.
His solicitor added a hearing to decide his future is due in October.
District Judge Zoe Passfield said she would normally make an order for compensation but given his personal circumstances Ludik was not in a position to do that.
Ludik was handed a 12-month conditional discharge after pleading guilty to criminal damage amounting to under £5,000. The mandatory £20 charge will be repaid at £3 a week.
