A teenager who raped a woman in her 90s in the hall of her home has been jailed for 16 years at Newport Crown Court.

Lee-Joseph Dixon, 18, forced his way into the house in Ely, Cardiff, as he made his way home from a party at 4am in May.

He “had not one ounce of pity” for his victim in the attack, the judge said.

Dixon, from Ely, admitted raping the widowed grandmother and will serve a minimum of eight years and be on the sex offenders register for life.

As she was attacked, the woman asked him: “Why is a young man like you raping an old woman like me?”

John Lloyd, prosecuting, told the court Dixon has been drinking at the party this year, and began knocking on doors as he walked to his home 300 metres away.

The woman was in her dressing gown and barefoot when she opened the door of the house.

Dixon told her there was an emergency and forced his way into the property as soon as the door was opened.

After the attack, the woman called 999. Officers found her shaking in the hallway still clutching the phone.
