George Persaud plead guilty to raping a 40-year-old woman and was sentenced Thursday to 17 years behind bars followed by 15 years supervision

A self-described “dirty rapist,” who sexually assaulted a woman last year for hours at gunpoint on a Queens street was sentenced Thursday to 17 years in prison.
After his arrest for the Dec. 29 attack, George Persaud, 24, blamed drugs for his behavior.

“I’m a dirty rapist,” Persaud said in a taped conversation with cops, according to a prosecutor. “That’s clearly me. I guess I raped her.”
Prosecutors said Persaud, of Ozone Park, approached a 40-year-old woman on 93rd St. in Jamaica shortly before midnight and displayed what appeared to be a firearm.
“Don’t do anything stupid or I’ll kill you,” he told her, prosecutors said.
He was accused of raping a woman on a street in Queens, New York during an hours-long attack in which he threatened to kill her if she resisted, police and law enforcement sources said.
Police said he forced the victim to a secluded area, where he made her perform a sex act on him and raped her for hours in the back seat of her car.
She escaped when Persaud stepped out of the car to relieve himself, and she used her spare set of keys to drive away.

The victim remembered that her assailant wore a heavy tattoo across his chest saying “Only The Strong Survive”

The culprit was tagged by the heavy tattoo across his chest saying “Only The Strong Survive”.
Persaud was arrested a week later by cops who had video of the suspect walking in the area of the attack. According to court records, a palm print was retrieved from a window inside the victim’s car and matched to the defendant.
“This is an offense that is every woman’s worst nightmare,” said Queens Judge Richard Buchter.
“The victim was repeatedly sodomized then raped by [by her attacker] in the back of her car who also took her keys away from her.”
Judge Buchter said Persaud will probably be deported. If not, he faces 15 years of supervised release after his prison sentence.
“The defendant’s actions were disgusting and unacceptable in a civilized society,” said Acting Queens DA John Ryan.

“The term of incarceration ordered by the court is appropriate and I hope gives the victim some comfort knowing he will be locked away for a long time.”
