“The defendant told the victim: ‘Stop yelling or I’m going to stab you,'” a prosecutor revealed, according to Sky News. “At the time, she didn’t know if the defendant was armed or not and she became very concerned that she and her daughter would end up seriously injured, if not killed, by the defendant.”
The attacker told the mother: “Look at me, look what I’m doing to you”, while raping the teenager, the unidentified mother proved in court.
When police arrived and arrested him, Carney apparently told authorities that “those fucking bitches probably called me at home.”
Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke called Carney “profoundly sadistic” during sentencing.
“Your offense that day was horrible, it was something of a nightmare,” he said.
He will not be eligible for parole for at least 10 years.
Both women told the court that they were severely traumatized by the incident.
“Until the morning of the attack, she used to be a strong and independent woman. But that has been reversed,” her mother said.
She said she hasn’t been able to sleep well since then and is haunted by nightmares and guilt.
In a heartbreaking statement read in court by a lawyer, the daughter wrote that she is so traumatized that she can no longer even hug her own father.
“I would always give my dad a hug and a kiss. I feel like I can’t do that anymore, I feel grossed out,” she wrote.
“I have lost all trust in people, I have lost all trust in men in particular,” he added.
