A Western Australian man who physically assaulted his 56-year
old mother before sexually assaulting her three times has been
sentenced to a full-term of 17 years in prison.
According to court papers, the man – whose identity is
subject to a suppression order to protect the victim – was
intoxicated on alcohol and methamphetamine when he returned to the
Pilbara home he shared with his mother in November 2019.
Without warning, he struck his mother to the hip with a heavy
PVC pipe – causing the middle age woman to fall to the
floor.
He then dragged his mother by the hair to her bedroom, pushed
her on to her bed and repeatedly raped her.
He then pushed her off the bed and went to another room, where
he fell asleep.
