Second victim of rapist Scots charity worker tells of traumatising attack days after giving birth
12.04.2022 - 11:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The second victim of a Scots charity worker rapist has revealed she was attacked by the predator just days after giving birth.
Care worker Wood, of Glasgow, attacked the woman, who we have named as Kelly to protect her anonymity, as she recovered from labour at home with her newborn.
Kelly*(not her real name), from Liverpool, met 38-year-old Wood at a conference and the pair began chatting online.
She was in a vulnerable state and feeling low after her long-term relationship had broken down when she began speaking to Wood daily.
After weeks of getting to know each other, she travelled to Glasgow to visit him.
As reported in the Liverpool Echo, she said: "I was talking to him for around two or three months before I went to Glasgow and he was just very intelligent, very confident, and quite smooth-talking.
"Just always saying what you needed to hear.
"He was a manipulator.
"The first time he raped me was the very first time I went to visit him. Meeting him was completely different to talking online, he was slimy and pervy, I didn't find him attractive at all and I just wanted to go home.
"I said no, but he raped me.
"It seems ridiculous now, I can't really explain it, but at the time I had a very stereotypical view of rape; I thought you can only be raped if you are dragged off the street. I thought no-one would believe me."
Kelly, for reasons she said she finds difficult to understand, continued the relationship, and after several months Wood left Glasgow and moved in with her at her home in Liverpool.
She described their relationship as "terrible" and Wood as controlling, abusive and physically violent.
However, she soon realised she was pregnant - a situation which left her feeling even more trapped.
And Kelly's nightmare
