One of serial rapist's 13 victims speaks out after latest appeal is turned down

This evil predator is still haunting me 37 years on

SHE is one of 13 victims. For her, the terror of what happened in the 1980s has been amplified in the last fortnight.

Andrew Barlow - formerly Andrew Longmire - the man who raped her and a dozen others, was making a new bid for freedom.

Her carefree life was shattered by Barlow one day in 1987 as she lay in bed in her terrace home.

She was in her mid-20s. "It was in the morning, about 7.30, 8am. I was asleep. I felt something sharp on my neck.

"He broke a window at the back... the pantry window. I hadn't heard that. I had been told he had been watching me. He broke in, I did not hear him coming up the stairs. I felt the sharpness to my neck, and woke up to these eyes.

At first, he said 'have you got any money?! There was some on the dressing table, so I said 'yes, over there, don't hit me. Then he did what he did, with the knife at my throat, and he put a pillow over my face.

"It felt like he was in the house for hours. I just remember his eyes.

"He had a black scarf or a balaclava on and the old-fashioned light khaki green jacket. I stayed there for a few minutes. I didn't know what to do.

"What happened to me, I see daily."
