A 92-year-old’s rapist has been jailed for his “horrific and degrading attack” upon the sleeping elderly woman later forced to wash off his DNA.

Adelaide-born squatter Craig Anthony Wheatman, 29, was jailed for at least nine years and three months on Thursday for the aggravated sexual assault in the Sydney woman’s inner west home in January.

He admitted climbing through a bathroom window, flinging open the woman’s bedroom door and making a threat while armed with garden shears.

The woman 64 years his senior couldn’t understand his English beyond the words “cut” and “money”.

“The victim must have been shocked and terrified by the presence of the offender who was unknown to her and in her bedroom at night,” NSW District Court Judge Donna Woodburne said.

After “degrading sexual touching”, the offender reached for an old plastic bag to place over his penis and raped the woman, repeatedly using his strength to overcome her attempts to move away, the judge said.

Wheatman ceased the rape but continued the crying woman’s “rough and humiliating” treatment by ordering her into the bathroom and pouring cooking oil, Dettol and vinegar over her and her bedding.

He forced her to shower, temporarily keeping her in her shower seat under a stream of uncomfortably hot water.

Wheatman then collected her wallet, cordless phone, car keys and personal medical alarm, and abandoned the bruised, cut, swollen woman.

The medical alarm was activated about 2.10am, alerting the woman’s family who arrived 90 minutes later.

The judge rejected any suggestion Wheatman’s showering of the woman was an act of kindness. Rather, she said it was “selfish and demeaning conduct” borne of an appreciation the water would wash away evidence linking Wheatman to the crime.

Easy to say. Were you in Court to hear all that was relevant to the sentencing?

Judge Woodburne accepted the offender’s traumatic and dysfunctional childhood, including foster care and serious crimes by a primary caregiver, had caused antisocial and severe substance abuse disorders.

I think that there is a duty of care to the to the victim and the perpetrator to ensure that criminal action be considered against all the foster/ primary caregivers that contributed to the perpetrators negligent upbringing. I also think that foster services that allow this need an official investigation.

WTF? 90 minutes after the medical alarm went off? Why didn't they call police or the ambos?

To busy working how how to spend their inheritance?
