>A violent rapist who treated his vulnerable victim as “an object” has been jailed for 17 years.
>Prosecutor Stephen Wood KC said 37-year-old Ivor Rozentals believed he could do what he wanted, when he wanted, with the woman. In her victim impact statement read to Bradford Crown Court by Mr Wood on Friday, July 11, the woman described experiencing “disturbing flashbacks” and constantly being in fear that Rozentals would take revenge on her for reporting him to the police.
>“It’s hard for me to put into words just how devastating that impact has been both emotionally and physically as well as on my basic existence,” she said. The woman, who must not be identified for legal reasons, said she had been left traumatised by Rozentals’ crimes.
>The court heard that Rozentals had previous convictions for violence and had even been given a police caution back in 2015 for slapping a sex worker during an argument. Following a trial Rozentals, of no fixed abode, was found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm, assault by penetration and five offences of rape. The offences were said to have taken place in Bradford.
>Mr Wood said the offending had taken place when Rozentals was intoxicated through drink or drugs or both. He said the jury’s verdicts made it clear that they agreed Rozenthal had viewed his victim as “an object” to do with as he wanted.
>Assistant Judge Advocate General Tom Mitchell sentenced Rozentals to a total of 17 years in jail and told him he would have to serve two-thirds of that sentence before being released. Because the sentence was more than 12 months Rozentals also faces automatic deportation back to his homeland, Latvia.
>The judge said Rozentals had destroyed his victim’s life. He sent: “She will be forever fighting to rescue it. I sincerely hope one day she can.”

Before people ask; the reason this guy gets deported but other similar scumbags don’t, is because Latvia actually takes back it’s scum.

Lets hope this pile of shit is thrown back to Latvia as soon as he’s released so this poor woman doesn’t have to spend years worrying about him being near her again.

Not to detract from this piece of shit but this is why it’s stupid that alcohol is legal and weed illegal. Alcohol makes people violent while weed makes people hungry.

Why isn’t this just some kind of international rule? Any non citizen with no right to remain who commits heinous crime like this should just be sent straight back. Like a hassle free returns policy but for scumbags
