Idiot cop left me in rape hell

THE screaming rape victim abandoned to her fate by a blundering PC last night spoke of her ordeal for the first time and condemned the cop.

Mum-of-two Elena, 32, revealed she did not even realise PC Matthew Harris had INTERRUPTED the brutal three-hour attack, QUIZZED the rapist and then LEFT him to it, until detailed at the trial.

Harris was alerted to Elena's plight by a neighbour who dialled 999 on hearing shrieks of distress.

But boozed-up rapist Vytautas Jasionis convinced him on the doorstep that all was well and he was just having noisy consensual sex.

Angry Elena said: "I can't understand it. The policeman should have at least spoken to me. I'd been screaming at the top of my voice in THREE languages. It would be impossible for anyone to mistake those cries as ones of pleasure or happiness.

EVIL: Jasionis conned cop

"I was looking for every opportunity to escape but every time I tried to get out I was beaten unconscious. I thought I was going to die.

"I'd no idea an officer had actually come to the door and spoken to my attacker. I only found this out when I read it in the newspaper.

"It was a shock. I just thought, 'How could this happen?' I should have been saved from this but I was left to be beaten black and blue and raped again.

" I don't hate the police officer but I feel he has let me down in the worst way. He should have demanded to see that I was all right." Elena, not her real name, told us how she had gone to Lithuanian Jasionis' flat in Greenwich, south London, for a drink with a friend.

"It was when my friend went to the toilet Jasionis came for me," she said.

"He grabbed me by the throat and picked me up like I was a piece of meat.

"He pushed me into the bedroom, shut the door and pinned me against the wall so I couldn't catch my breath.

"I later learned that when my friend came out of the toilet he was told I'd gone home and so he left. Then that brute just kept coming at me. I was shouting and screaming for help in Lithuanian, Russian and English."

At the end of her nightmare evil Jasionis, 54, even forced Elena to sign a note to say she had agreed to sex.

"Blood was pouring from my nose and he told me he wouldn't let me leave until I signed," she said.

"I could hardly see through my swollen eyes and I just thought if I don't do as he says he'll kill me. I'd have done anything to get away from him.

"As soon as I staggered home I called the police and two women officers took me straight to the hospital."

Jasionis is now in prison awaiting sentence. PC Matthews is on restricted duties while the Independent Police Complaints Commission investigate his conduct.
