A court in\u00a0Germany\u00a0has sentenced a Ghanaian\u00a0refugee\u00a0to nearly 12 years in jail for the campsite rape of a young woman in front of her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Eric X, 31, –\u00a0branded highly dangerous by a psychiatric expert – was handed the 11 year and six-month jail term at Bonn State Court.<\/p>\n

He denied to the end being responsible despite the testimony from an expert saying the chance of someone else’s DNA being on the victim was a 30 billion to one chance.<\/p>\n

And X insulted his victim by saying: ‘If the court says the DNA fits, then I have to call the girl a prostitute. Anyone who supports this girl who claims to have been raped is the dirtiest person on earth.’<\/p>\n

X struck in April this year at a campsite near the city on the Rhine, dragging the 23-year-old woman from the tent she was sharing with her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

A major scandal ensued when it emerged police refused to take seriously a 999 call from her partner saying his girlfriend was being raped yards from him.<\/p>\n

‘You are not f***ing with me I hope?’ said the officer who took the call.<\/p>\n

The terrified young man had been threatened with a machete when the Ghanaian refugee entered the tent and told him to remain where he was.<\/p>\n

The attacker dragged the girl a few yards into a meadow at the Siegaue Nature Reserve and raped her.<\/p>\n

But the boyfriend had a hard time getting police to take him seriously.<\/p>\n

‘Hmm,’ was the first reaction from the female police officer on the line. ‘Where exactly is this rape happening?’ she added.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The boyfriend was forced to watch as the attacker violated his lover – and the police never arrived.<\/p>\n

The boyfriend, 26, eventually gathered her up and began walking with her along a main road looking for help.<\/p>\n

He called police a second time – and again they were disbelieving. Finally, nearly 30 minutes later, officers arrived and the victim was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

A photofit picture of the attacker led to his arrest and DNA testing confirmed his guilt. A CD player he stole from the tent was found at his refugee centre.<\/p>\n

He tried to flee when police moved in to arrest him, flinging a rucksack at one officer.<\/p>\n

It turned out that the backpack was stolen from a barbecue party shortly before the rape occurred.<\/p>\n

The rape was one of the most high-profile sex attacks laid at the door of refugees since the migrant crisis began, prompting hundreds of tips from the public.<\/p>\n

Just days before the attack, X had been told he was set to be deported to Italy, where he had originally entered the Schengen zone.<\/p>\n

He arrived in Italy in January and his asylum application was immediately rejected but by then he had made the journey to Kassel in Germany.<\/p>\n

The suspect lived for a time in asylum seeker housing accommodation in the town of Sankt Augustin, near Bonn.<\/p>\n

But local media have questioned why he was not immediately deported.<\/p>\n
