A Central Coast woman, aged in her 20s, will face court next month to fix a sentence date after pleading guilty to raping her on-again, off-again partner.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, faced Gosford Local Court on Friday where she pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse without consent and common assault, while a third charge of sexual touching will be taken into account when she is sentenced.
An agreed set of facts states the woman, who identified as a man, was in an “off and on” relationship with another woman who had children from a previous relationship.
The facts state the couple separated in about February of 2023 but resumed their relationship towards the end of that year with the offender moving back into the victim’s home.
However during their time apart the victim became pregnant and gave birth in early 2024.
Three months later the victim had a routine check up with her doctor and told the offender she had no interest in sex.
They arranged a movie night and organised babysitters for the victim’s children when they lay down for a nap.
The offender started rubbing the victim’s leg and the victim pushed her hand away, telling her she didn’t feel comfortable.
The offender said “don’t be silly” and picked up a purple vibrator.
The victim said “it will hurt” but the offender said “I’ll be soft”.
The victim tried to throw the vibrator away but the offender grabbed her hands and held them above her head before sexually assaulting her as the woman “froze” in shock.
The following day the offender started packing up her things and said she wanted to leave.
“The victim said ‘do you want to leave as you’re a rapist?’,” the facts state.
“The offender slapped the victim across the face while the victim was holding the baby.”
The victim put the baby down, told the offender to leave and rang police.
When officers arrived she disclosed the slap to the face but didn’t mention the sexual assault because one of her children was listening.
She later told police about it and they attended an address on May 22 last year where they arrested the offender who has been in custody ever since.
She will face Gosford District Court on April 3 to set a sentence date.
