The woman, who was a witness at the 50-year-old rapist’s trial, was described in court as one of three women who had consensual sex with the predator in his taxi.

However, last night she told the Sunday World: “I wouldn’t have done it sober at all. I don’t find him attractive — he’s double my age.

“I felt very ashamed and very down in myself after for even agreeing to that, with the state I was in. God knows who else he’s done this to.”

The woman tells her story today as the Sunday World reveals that Shorten has also been convicted in connection with a separate sex attack earlier this year, over which he is yet to be sentenced.
