A 28-year-old Perth man has been sentenced to 10 years' jail for raping a woman on two separate occasions in her own home.
Lawrence Henry Quartermaine was charged after police held a cold case review of the rapes, which happened in 2003.
Quartermaine broke into the woman's home in Maddington and sexually assaulted her while her eight-year-old daughter slept beside her.
He returned three weeks later and committed the same offences.
Quartermaine originally pleaded not guilty to the offences, but changed his pleas after his victim testified in court.
Today, District Court judge Richard Keen described the crimes as "every woman's worst nightmare", and said Quartermaine had shown no remorse or empathy for his victim.
He said Quartermaine had targeted the woman, who had been unable to escape from him because her daughter and her three other children would have been left alone in the house.
Quartermaine will have to serve eight years before he can be considered for release.
