Vulnerable rape victim tried to take her own life

A VULNERABLE woman who was raped by a Plymouth man was so badly affected by the incident she attempted to take her own life, a court heard.

Thomas Carr, aged 35 and now of George Place in Plymouth, appeared at Plymouth Crown Court after he was found guilty of one count of vaginal rape and one count of attempted oral rape on a woman in July 2023.

Prosecutor Jason Beale told the court how Carr targeted the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – twice on that day, the first by holding her down with his hand and forcibly raped her for around five minutes at her then home, despite her repeated cries to make him stop. The court heard Carr was not wearing a condom at the time and ejaculated.

Later that same day he attempted to force his penis into her mouth, while he was under the influence of alcohol, again ignoring her pleas to stop. Carr grabbed her around the throat and attempted to force open her mouth with his other hand but she resisted him.
