A woman who was sexually assaulted and strangled has spoken of the trauma of being attacked.

A woman who was sexually assaulted and strangled by a stranger in her own home has told the BBC she does not think she will ever feel safe again.The number of sexual offences reported in Northern Ireland in a 12-month periodThe woman in this case spoke to BBC News NI on condition of anonymity.'I could feel an enormous crushing around my neck'"It's very difficult to remember it all clearly, I was just thinking 'get off, get off, get off'.

"But I thought, I don't want him to ever do this to anyone, I knew I had to put myself through all of it."Securing evidence as quickly as possible in a case like this allowed a victim the time and space to consider if they want to take a case forward, Det Supt Lindsay Fisher, from the Police Service of Northern Ireland's public protection branch said.

"So that if that victim does want to come forward at a later time that's there, it's available, that will be that evidence that can be presented to court and we can hold and secure that.""I remember immediately after I thought 'I have to have a bath' and I looked down at the bruising and damage and I could barely look at myself, I didn't want to look in the mirror or go outside," she said.
