A SADISTIC expat has been banged up for nine years after raping his girlfriend in a two day torture ordeal at their Spanish home.
Dylan Rory Rogers, 28, smashed his victim’s head against the wall while raping her in the jealousy-fuelled attack at their appartment near Playa de Palma.
A court in the Mallorcan capital heard how the ex-grammar school boy subjected his 23-year-old girlfriend to a series of sado-masochistic abuse, including pepper-spraying her, throwing eggs at her and forcing her to dance naked for him.
Irish-born Rogers embarked on the 48 hour torture spree on August 7 last year, after he accused his victim of looking at another man on the beach and said he was going to punish her.
Prosecutors explained how he told his girlfriend that the pain he was going to cause her would compensate for the damage she had done to him by looking at the other man. He referred to the 23-year-old as ‘his slave’ during the ordeal.
They added: “He told her he didn’t care whether he had to kill her and covered her mouth with tape.”
His victim managed to escape from the eighth-floor apartment in the S’Arenal resort in Palma, while the former Bangor Grammar School student took a shower. She was naked, wearing only a towel at the time.
The court heard how Rogers had previously changed his girlfriend’s phone SIM card so that she would lose her contacts and he could exert more control over her.
In addition to the prison sentence, the Irish expat was ordered to complete 80 days of community service. He was also served with a 21 year restraining order preventing him from contacting or going near the woman.
