A woman who was raped multiple times by an evil predator has bravely spoken out - and told of the 'absolute fear' she felt as she was attacked in her own bed while her children were lying 'just feet away'.
Kelly - whose name has been changed to protect her identity - penned a devastating statement ahead of the sentencing of John Wood - her ex-partner and the man who almost destroyed her life, the Liverpool Echo reports. The victim, from Liverpool, said she 'froze in complete fear' when Woods attacked her and that he 'stole a piece of her she will never get back'.
Wood, 38, was yesterday jailed for six years at the Scottish High Court after being convicted of raping Kelly, and another woman from Glasgow. The care worker, who is originally from the Cheshire area, must also sign the sex offenders' register indefinitely.

The court heard the pair had met at a conference when Wood was living in Glasgow, and after some time chatting online he eventually moved to Merseyside to live with her. However Kelly had unwittingly invited a sexual predator into her home.
In the statement, Kelly wrote of the final time she was raped by Wood, who worked in care. At the time she had ended their three-year relationship after finding he had been using dating apps to meet men for sex, although she allowed him to stay in her Liverpool home as he had nowhere else to go.
Kelly wrote: "The last time I saw John Wood....he raped me for the last time. In that moment he stole a piece of me that I will never get back, the previous times John raped me I never understood what it was. I was conditioned to think rape was only perpetuated by
