A woman who was sexually assaulted on two occasions by a London police officer says she’s been dealt a “life sentence”
The woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, delivered an emotional victim impact statement Wednesday at the sentencing of Const. Eldin Omerovic, 27, who was found guilty in the summer of two counts of sexual assault stemming from incidents in 2021 and 2022.“For the past two years, I have felt like I have been given a life sentence. I have been incredibly hyper-vigilant and afraid to go out, for fear of judgment due to people having found out about the assault,” the woman said.
“Given the totality of the information before me, there is ample reason to conclude that the principle of specific deterrence does not demand a period of incarceration in a custodial setting,” Dean said., the woman testified she and Omerovic were having sex at her home on Sept. 8, 2021, when he struck her in the face. On the second occasion, Omerovic was at her house on Feb.
“Public shaming, humiliation and being labeled as a predator have been my constant companions. Regrettably, even those I once considered close friends and colleagues have transformed into individuals who look upon me with disdain,” he said.
