SYDNEY - A Sydney teenager raped a topless waitress after hiding in the boot of her car and forcing her to pull over, a judge has heard.
While she was driving from a bucks' party, James Nigel Stephens moved from the boot compartment by pushing the rear seatforward and entering the rear passenger seat.
Stephens, 18 at the time, from Fairfield in Sydney's south-west, has pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated detaining a person for advantage.
The offences occurred in the early hours of January 14 last year in inner-city Waterloo.
Stephens today faced a sentencing hearing in the NSW District Court, where an agreed statement of facts was tendered to Judge Michael Finnane.
The facts said that when Stephens attacked the woman he was wearing a distinctive orange and black Balmain Tigers t-shirt, which police found in a search of his home.
The woman had been hired as a topless waitress from midnight to 3am at the bucks party, which Stephens attended.
After later being repeatedly sexually assaulted by Stephens in her car, she escaped and a taxi driver took her straight to police.
"Upon attending Redfern police station, the complainant entered the police station screaming hysterically and shaking uncontrollably," the facts said.
