British Karan Pullock, a Hackney Rapist, unlawfully entered a woman’s residence via the attic, thereafter restraining her to a chair and attempting to sexually assault her at knifepoint.
Karan Pullock, 37, was characterised as a “truly dangerous” guy during an assault on the victim at her residence in Hackney, London.
Karan Pullock accessed the victim’s flat via an attic on 30 June of the previous year, a court was informed.
Upon returning home later that day, the victim observed that the blinds were drawn and her dog was abnormally silent.
Karan Pullock subsequently exited a dimly lit room wielding a knife and seized the woman.
She bravely tried to fight him off, but he overpowered her before holding a knife to her throat.
The sick offender then threatened to kill her as she continued to scream in fear.
Karan Pullock then took the frightened victim into her bedroom, where he tied her to a chair and demanded money.
Karan Pullock began to cut the victim’s clothes off before sexually assaulting her and attempting to rape her.
Shortly after, Karan Pullock called the Met Police and confessed to the incident with cops rushing to the scene to arrest him shortly after.
Karan Pullock, of Hackney, East London, has been jailed for 12 years and will be on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
Karan Pullock pleaded guilty on January 18 to attempted robbery, attempted rape, sexual assault and threats to kill.
The victim said: “There are days where I struggle to get out of bed. Not recognising the person I once was. I wonder what the point is, where I no longer have the confidence to live like I used to.
“To live in a city like London and constantly be in fear feels hopeless.
“I’m a grown woman who is now scared of the dark. I feel embarrassed trying to make plans to see friends, or client meetings and having to work around this.
“In the winter months, it makes this basically impossible.”
Detective Sergeant Matthew Cooksey said: “Karan Pullock is a truly dangerous individual who planned a terrifying attack on the victim for no reason other than his own gratification.
“I am glad that he pleaded guilty and spared the victim from having to relive the experience at court.
“He will now spend a significant period behind bars. We are working hard to prevent violence against women and girls and we will continue to remove these dangerous offenders from the streets of London, then release them.”
