A man who lured an intoxicated woman into his car and raped her in a predatory attack has been jailed for seven years.
The woman reported the incident to friends, her mother and a doctor, showing them the bruises on her inner thighs and disclosing the pain in her groin.The woman filed a complaint with police in January 2019 and Bacash was arrested and interviewed in February 2020.He told officers he regularly drove women home and "if things happen, they happen", claiming some female passengers became "touchy-feely" so he had consensual sex with them.
In sentencing Bacash today, County Court Judge Martine Marich found the 2017 attack was somewhat spontaneous but also predatory."She was isolated and vulnerable as a result of her state.""While relatively brief, it's left a legacy of trauma," Judge Marish said.She noted Bacash continues to deny the offending and is refusing to partake in sex offence rehabilitation programs in custody.
