A repulsive crime was committed on a 82 year old woman when her personal carer raped her after wheeling her 86 year old husband to the next room.
59 years old Simon Prodanovich, told his victim “ladies like that” before pouncing on his victim in her suburban Melbourne home. The court heard that the woman demanded Prodanovich to “stop, that’s enough of it”, before he fled the house. Judge Susan Pullen described his actions as nothing short of “appalling, reprehensible and repulsive”. The rape had “brutalised” the woman and left her feeling angry and fearful at men. According to the woman’s daughter, her mother is now weary of where men might be and fearing what they might do to her. Prodanovich was jailed for a maximum of eight years and must serve five-and-a-half years before becoming eligible for release on parole.
