A truck driver who abducted and sexually abused three women had built a “raping machine” in a bus he had converted into a home, a court has heard.
Serial rapist Dennis Newall, 56, placed his terrified victims on the home-made, crucifix-shaped machine before raping them.
The father of four used his son to help him abduct two of the women and take them to a converted bus in a Brooklyn industrial estate.
Newall pleaded guilty in the County Court on Thursday to kidnapping and raping two sex workers between November and December, 2001.
He had been jailed in 2002 for eight years for kidnapping and raping another sex worker, but the other two victims only recently came forward to police.
The court was told that Newall and an unidentified man abducted one of the victims, who was 27 at the time, from
St Kilda in November, 2001.
The second victim was a 20-year-old sex worker when Newall and his son, Aaron grabbed her in St Kilda and took her to Brooklyn. The victim said that when she was taken into the bus, Newall became psychotic and the pain he inflicted on her had been unbearable.
The court was told Aaron had received a suspended six-month jail term in December after pleading guilty to his role in kidnapping the second victim.
Newall will be sentenced at a later date.
