Victim's 23 year wait for justice is finally over
4:24pm Friday 19th March 2010 in
A RAPE victim’s long wait for justice finally ended on Friday when she saw her tormentor jailed for eight years.
Ex-soldier Dennis Fitzgerald bound and gagged the Poole woman before raping her twice, while her young daughter slept in an adjoining room.
Listen to an interview with Fitzgerald's victim (pitch of the interview has been altered to ensure complete anonymity)
More than two decades after her terrifying hour-long ordeal, Fitzgerald’s victim spoke exclusively to the Daily Echo of her relief and the nightmares that have haunted her since the early morning attack in her own home.
