He never thought I’d report him. I’m so glad I did

he thought he was untouchabl­e.

“My life has been on hold since he raped me and I’ve been in tears most days. It’s been really hard and often left me feeling suicidal.

“He knew exactly what he was doing and took pleasure in the pain he inflicted.

“He knew the type of person I was and preyed on me.

“He never thought I’d report him or have the strength to give evidence in court.

“I’m so glad I did. He deserves to rot behind bars for a long time.”

Cummings’ first victim had her soft drinks spiked – first with amphetamin­e at a bar and then with cocaine at his flat in Langbank.

Christina had no idea of her attacker’s sick past when she met him online.

She said: “He told me people said he looked a lot like Gordon Ramsay.

“When I saw him in the flesh, I thought, ‘What have I done?’ I wasn’t attracted to him at all.

“I told him nothing would happen and that I don’t sleep with people I’ve just met.”

Cummings poured her a glass of wine. Her next memory was waking to find herself wearing a red dress and high heels, rather than the trousers, tunic top and boots she had on when he arrived.

She knew she had been drugged after spotting white powder in the bottom of her wine glass lying nearby.

Christina told how Cummings then tried to force white powder into her mouth.

She added: “I tried to spit it out and told him to stop. I managed to get to the toilet and he followed me in and assaulted me… I thought he was going to kill me.

“I told him to stop but he said he liked women ‘who were vulnerable’.”

Depraved Cummings, who has conviction­s dating back to 1979, also told her he wanted a threesome with a 10-year-old girl and said he would set her up as a prostitute.

Cummings repeatedly raped Christina before finally leaving her flat the next day.
