An evil rapist who laughed in a Cork woman’s face and told her he was HIV positive and suffering from Hepatitis C has been jailed for nine years.
Zimbabwean born Lovemore Dube was in Ireland on a South African passport when he carried out the vicious attack in the summer of 2012.
A Central Criminal Court hearing in Cork heard that the 25-year-old had laughed in the woman’s face as he pinned her to a bed and raped her.
The Irish Times reports that the court heard he then told her that he was HIV positive and had hepatitis C.
Dube, living in Ireland since 2005, pleaded guilty to raping the woman in her home in Cork, and to the theft of house keys, on July 23rd, 2012.
Justice Paul Carney told Dube that he had abused the woman’s hospitality by returning to rape her when she was alone in the house less than an hour after she and her fiancé had invited him in for coffee as it was raining.
The judge said: “When he was left alone with his victim, he effected a long, gratuitously violent and gratuitously insulting rape which left the victim severely injured and severely traumatised.”
The court heard that as well as suffering physical injuries and emotional distress, the victim had to wait for several stressful days before test results came back to show she was clear of HIV and Hepatitis.
Justice Carney said the woman was entitled to ‘safety and sanctuary’ in her own home and also noted her distress when she learned that Dube had been found with her house keys.
Sentencing Dube to nine years imprisonment, with two suspended, he also sentenced him to three years for the theft of the house keys.
In her victim impact statement, the woman said she feared that Dube was going to kill her when, after biting her on her breasts, he put his hands on her neck and began to choke her as he raped her in the bedroom of her house.
She said: “I couldn’t breathe as I was being strangled and I thought I was going to die. I didn’t want to die like this and I thought his face would be the last thing I would ever see in this life. I felt I was seconds from death and I couldn’t do anything about it.
“I thought I would never see my lovely family again and never see the love of my life again. I dreaded my family finding me dead like this and worried about the trauma they would go through.
“I prayed to God, Our Lady, the angels and my late grandmother to save me.
“His eyes looked evil and they bored into me and he seemed to enjoy my suffering as he kept laughing. I felt humiliated, powerless, and his smell repulsed me.”
The victim also revealed how Dube slapped her and called her ‘a bitch’ and ‘a slut’ during the rape.
She added in the statement how she managed to get enough breath to ask him how he would feel if somebody did that to his mother or sister and she managed to distract him and get him off and push him out of the house and lock him out.
The victim said: “My relief was short-lived as he then started screaming outside the house that he was going to smash in the front window and finish me off like he should have. I was again terrified for my life and felt all alone and helpless.
“Every time I read or hear about a woman who has been raped and murdered, I know the terror they have gone through and I relive the vicious rape again.
“I used to be a happy, carefree, trusting person before the rape. I don’t know if I will ever be that person again.”

I agree with Icobryan. The only final way to deal with such evil people, and to protect our women, is Castration. We could then release them, and save the state a lot of money. prison is only a training ground for such people.
lcobryan | Feb 03, 2013, 07:10 PM EST
This creature should have been tried for rape and ATTEMPTED MURDER!!! 9 years? Sexual assailants have a 95% recidivism rate. Lock him up for good in solitary and castrate him. ALL RAPISTS NEED TO BE CASTRATED!

I expect my post to be taken for exactly what they articulate. Both of you have IQs hovering around room temperature so apparently don't understand them.
curtisjohnson | Feb 03, 2013, 10:08 AM EST
eiriamach, you are probably the sanest and most articulate poster on this website. On the other hand, curtisjohnson's endless, mindless ranting about England and all things English is tiresome to the point of puke. The lad should seriously consider checking into the Roach Motel. As for such lowly specimens of manhood as sully1167 and "laughing at u," they should confine their foul racist slurs to their favorite hate-based, white supremacist websites. Finally, Ireland is notoriously lenient on rapists, regardless of race or color. This brutal thug should have gotten 25 to life.
eiriamach | Feb 03, 2013, 06:06 AM EST
curtisjohnson, do you expect me to believe that you just didn't read the comments preceding yours and had no idea how your words fit right in with the racism of GaelicNation's [Feb 02, 10:20 AM EST] "These are the rotten fruits of 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity'" and "third world immigration" creates "a mongrelized 'European' people" and sully1167's [Feb 01, 08:50 PM EST] "You can take the Ni66er out of the jungle, but you can't the jungle out of the Ni66er" and "laughing at u" [Feb 01, 03:24 PM EST] "See what happens when you're exposed to knee grows. N*i66ers are animals and should not be permitted in White countries." That's the context, curtisjohnson, in which you inserted your comments about British control reducing the "indigenous population" of Ireland and the "british terror state" being "historically racial supremacists." You blamed a legacy of British racism for the way an Irish judge sentenced an immigrant rapist. If you don't wish your words to be read as racist, don't hang around with racists, or at the very least, denounce the racism before adding your comment. "Hysterical"? Not quite. More like "outraged" by the vileness of people who turn a blind eye to racism--or to violence against women (they're often the same people). Now you can keep on trying to explain it away, but it's there for all to see, and it doesn't belong, and I'll keep pointing that out.

She could have a case against Ireland (ie 26 administration)/the Minister and Department of Foreign Affairs for vicarious liability in giving clearance to subsequent criminal elements into the state. Many Irish nationals have suffered uuncharacteristicly violent attacks from foreign nationals. In fact, the European Union may also be liable to a civil prosecution.
curtisjohnson | Feb 03, 2013, 12:00 AM EST
I was responding to your irrelevant inferences regarding my post. It’s not an anti-immigration axe and I rarely post anything on the topic – as indicated, I believe in civic nationalism. I am against any form of violence against the innocent – rape in particular – as I have emphasized on countless occasions on this site. My opposition to degenerate materialist ideologies, including supremacism, radical feminism, marxism, etc., is not inconsistent with this position. My original post was meant to demonstrate how the residuals of british colonialism could have influenced such an outrageous sentence and was therefore directly germane to the article. “You're exploiting violence against women” – you need to get over yourself with this hysterical comment.
eiriamach | Feb 02, 2013, 11:56 PM EST
On February 14, 1 Billion Women will be holding protests and dance teach-ins around the globe to draw attention to violence against women and girls and to inspire people to help end violence that targets females. In the USA, we will be rallying support for the Violence Against Women Act, for which Congress has refused continued funding. According to the "1 Billion Rising" web site, no event is yet listed for Ireland.
eiriamach | Feb 02, 2013, 11:27 PM EST
But curtisjohnson, this article has nothing to do with "nationalism" or "mass immigration," so what are your comments doing here? You're exploiting violence against women to push your political agenda! Take your well-sharpened anti-immigration axe to a relevant forum and grind it there. Or are you posting here only to complain about "degenerate" "radical" feminists who are concerned about increasingly frequent assaults against women, a crime perpetrated by men who are, uh, what's that word you threw at the feminists? "degenerate," yes, that's it.
curtisjohnson | Feb 02, 2013, 09:02 PM EST
" and it is not the province of "racial supremacists" as curtisjohnson would like you to believe," What are you talking about? I'm not a nut_zi type and radical feminism is a degenerate material doctrine just like racism. Although my post has nothing to do with the issue as you infer, for the record I am for civic nationalism rather than mass immigration without adequate assimilation.
eiriamach | Feb 02, 2013, 07:47 PM EST
I see that the StormFront Nazis have moved into Irish Central again, with their not-so-clever spelling of the "N" word with sixes instead of 'g's' to get their racist screeds past the IC filters. There are a "billion women rising" to stop violence against women and children. Have you heard about this movement? And when the court convicts an African rapist, women know that there are millions of white men committing the same crime, so this is NOT a racist movement, and racists will never co-opt it. Rape is not "white genocide" as GaelicNation thinks, and it is not the province of "racial supremacists" as curtisjohnson would like you to believe, and it's not a crime of jungle animals as sully1167 and "laughing at u" ridiculously claim. It's committed by power-hungry men like the group of resentful racist StormFront types who gather here. They know their white skin wins them no special privileges anymore, so they try to overcome their well-deserved sense of their own inferiority by seeking victims they think are weaker than they are. As the victim in this case said, it was about humiliating her and making her feel "powerless" so that the male can feel strong and in charge. But these white racists are not in charge either. Send that message loud and clear until they get it.

“So raping a woman is only three times worse than stealing her house keys? Hmmm! Interesting quixotic jurisprudence. You'll never get justice for working class people from a middle class judge. Any more than you'll ever get empiricism from armchair idelaists. Nuff said!” Under the rule of the british terror state and their anglo squatters, rape and even murder of the indigenous population was legal. This “Judge” is perhaps just loosely following the precedent.

fry him.soft justice sucks.

Why two years suspended?
herselfathome | Feb 02, 2013, 10:48 AM EST
As usual our stupid judges make a complete mess of the law. This rapist should be jailed for at least 20yrs AND NO NONE SUSPENDED. What this suspended issue means, God alone knows. It's time our old fuddy duddy judges either retire or go back to school to learn about real life and that justice must not only be done, IT MUST BE SEEN TO BE DONE.
curtisjohnson | Feb 02, 2013, 10:44 AM EST
The free state Dublin establishment is just an appendage of the anglo-sphere with the goal of diminishing the numbers and influence of the indigenous population. The commercial oligarchs who rule the british terror state, although historically racial supremacists, have done the same thing in britain for the primary purposes of cheap labor (although the common anglo population that is one of the targets is not really indigenous anyway).
GaelicNation | Feb 02, 2013, 10:23 AM EST
If you don't believe in human rights for White Europeans too, then you don't believe in human rights at all.
GaelicNation | Feb 02, 2013, 10:20 AM EST
These are the rotten fruits of "multiculturalism" and "diversity." If you look at violent interracial crime, there are a million acts of violent black-on-white crime, such as rape, murder and robbery, any given year. 90% of interracial crime involves a black perpetrator and a white victim. When you look at the percentage of blacks in any white country, blacks are committing far more crimes against whites than the other way around. Way more. The EU is the new Soviet Union. The founders of the EU, inspired by Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi of the Paneuropean Union, want to destroy the ethnic heritage of European countries through mass third world immigration and create a mongrelized "European" people so we can all live in some mocha-colored dream world. Their agenda is "Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White countries for everyone!" It is a slow, calculated genocide against White Europeans. The UN defines genocide as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. This is exactly what is happening in every European nation. If you can't see the obvious truth, you must be a total Marxist-brainwashed lemming.

He should die in prison.

You can take the Ni66er out of the jungle, but you can't the jungle out of the Ni66er. The fecker should not be in Ireland in the 1st place. I hope he got a severe beating from the police.
laughing at u | Feb 01, 2013, 03:24 PM EST
See what happens when you're exposed to knee grows. N*i66ers are animals and should not be permitted in White countries.
Searlit | Feb 01, 2013, 12:24 PM EST
Not a long enough sentence. Isn't this the same judge who let the despicable raping father off with a lenial sentence for such a heinous crime? This is far from sound judgement.
irishamerica46 | Feb 01, 2013, 12:02 PM EST
Courts in Ireland are so lenient.The victim might have a life sentence to deal with. Why not him?? It takes more than one bloodtest to see if you're HIV
cillowen | Feb 01, 2013, 11:38 AM EST
stupid - extermination needed for such vermin.
handsome68 | Feb 01, 2013, 10:05 AM EST
You write "evil rapist", implying then that there must be good rapists as well. While the matter is not really my area of expertise, I tend to agree with lakeisle's Comment below. Still, there is always the problem of "the wrong man", about which we are too well aware in the USA. For example, one can't "unshoot" someone. .
lakeisle | Feb 01, 2013, 09:14 AM EST
The punishment should be more severe e.g. chop of his genitals, plus he should be forced to work hard for the country (some practical physical work) during his stay in prison. Nothing to do with where he's from: same for anyone else. Or maybe just shoot him, and save the expenses. I'm completely serious. He (i.e. his soul) is eternal, so he's going to go onto his next body anyway - but a severe punishment is the correct way in which the State is meant to deal with individuals like this. (Manu Samhita, Bhagavad Gita,etc)
