Jailed for 13 years for ‘horror’ rape ordeal

A Brazilian man who left a woman severely injured in a laneway after raping and assaulting her has been jailed for 13 years.

Rafael Tiso, aged 31, was captured on CCTV leaving a nightclub with the intoxicated victim and walking with her down a side street before going into a lane with her. He left the lane 40 minutes later and returned to drink in the same bar for over an hour.

A passer-by heard a moaning noise and discovered the woman lying on the ground between a truck and a car, with her legs spread apart. The man believed the woman was dead at first.
