A drug-crazed rapist who broke into a South Wales home and subjected a mother and daughter to a “grave, humiliating and degrading” series of sexual assaults has been jailed for life.
Five days after being released from prison on licence after being jailed for burglary, Joshua Carney barged his way into his victims’ home .
As soon as she saw Carney the woman "knew he was danger" a Cardiff court heard yesterday. The defendant was described by Ieuan Bennett, acting for the prosecution, as having no shoes, blood coming from both heels, and clearly in an intoxicated state.
Carney punched the woman repeatedly, demanding to know who else was in the house and whether she had a boyfriend.

Her screams woke up her daughter who immediately locked her bedroom door and called the police. Mr Bennett described the "harrowing" transcript from that call at 6.52am.
The girl told the call handler: "I can't see her, I can hear her crying, I think he's stabbed her." Later she told police that as she realised something "terrible" was happening, it caused her to "physically gag" in her bedroom.
Threatening to kill the mother Carney shouted at her to "stop f****** screaming or I'm going to stab you". Fearful he'd use a knife in the nearby kitchen to carry out his threat she tried to follow his instructions. He pushed her into the living room before ordering her to take her clothes off and forcing his penis into her mouth. At one point during her first ordeal he demanded that she call him “her husband”.
Carney then moved on to the teenage girl’s room.
The woman told him: "Do whatever you want to me but please leave her alone."
But Carney, by then completely naked, ordered both women into the first bedroom where he slapped the young girl in the face and sexually assaulted her mum in front of her.
He then went on to rape both women. Throughout the horrifying ordeal mum held on to her daughter's hand trying to reassure her and comfort her as the attack took place.

Afterwards Carney said: "There, I finished.” As he returned downstairs to retrieve his clothes, police responding the the daughter’s 999 call arrived.
Officers described him as having slurred speech and shouting at them: "What are you doing?" He admitted he'd taken the designer drug spice and later claimed in his police interview that he had no memory of what had happened.
At Cardiff Crown Court yesterday, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke said that forcing each victim to watch what was happening to the other amounted to degradation and humiliation which elevated the seriousness of the offence to a category one harm offence.

She called his attack a "sustained incident" and that he was aware of the relationship between his two victims. The daughter was "particularly vulnerable" because of her age, she said.
The young girl has said that she now lives in fear, and sleeps with a hammer under her pillow. Both women spoke of having been deeply traumatised by the attack.
Carney was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of 13 charges including rape, attempted rape, actual bodily harm and theft. The judge recommended he not be considered for parole for 10 years.
