Sex attacker threatened to cut victim’s EYES out with a pair of scissors before trying to rape schoolgirl and a third woman on the same day
Evil Kristof Lowery, 40, bound his victim with a belt, pounced on a 16-year-old cyclist and attacked a third woman in a lay-by in the space of a few hours
A RAPIST threatened to cut his victim's eyes out with a pair of scissors - and then assaulted two more women on the same day.
Kristof Lowery, 40, was caged for life yesterday for a string of terrifying sex attacks over just a few hours.
After brutally raping his first victim the thug tried to rape a 16-year-old schoolgirl in a remote country lane and then targeted a third woman.
Sex-crazed Lowery, of Cromer, Norfolk, handed himself in to police after the frenzy of assaults on August 1, a court heard.
Lindsay Cox, prosecuting, said he raped his first victim, a woman of 24, after luring her back to his house in the seaside resort for a cigarette and a chat.
Mr Cox said that when she rejected his advances Lowery "grabbed some scissors and held them to her eyes".
The fiend warned he would "cut her eyes out" if she did not submit, Norwich Crown Court was told.
Mr Cox added the brute refused to let the woman leave his home.
Lowery lashed her hands behind her back with a belt and made her lie down with him.
He finally allowed her to go after warning her not to report the crime as he claimed his brother was a policeman and no one would believe her.
Mr Cox said the traumatised victim did raise the alarm but Lowery had already fled on his scooter.

Later that day he attacked the 16-year-old, who was cycling on her own on a lonely road near Knapton.
Lowery pretended his scooter had broken down and got the confused youngster to stop and help him.
Mr COx said: "When she bent down to look at the scooter he grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her towards the undergrowth.
"She tried to struggle and fight him off and tried to get away."
Lowery put his hand over her mouth to stop her screaming as he tried to rape her.
But when he found out she was just 16 Lowery said sorry and roared off on his scooter, the court heard.
Mr Cox said the shocked but quick-thinking teenager noted down his number plate on her phone and tipped off police.
Lowery attempted to ambush his third victim in a lay-by.
But the terror-stricken woman screamed and scared him off before he turned himself in to local cops.
Police found a disturbing hand-written note from Lowery on how to chat up women in which he said: "When a woman says no, it does not always mean no."
Lowery was jailed for 12 years in 2000 for raping and indecently assaulting a woman he dragged from a footpath in Newcastle.
Yesterday he admitted rape, attempted rape and common assault.
Jailing him for life, Judge Stephen Holt said he posed a "high risk" of harm to women.
He said Lowery must serve at least seven years and 247 days before he was considered for parole.
Michael Clare, defending, said he had not planned the terrifying triple attack.
He said: "It appears at the time the defendant could not help himself and was acting on impulse. It was not a campaign."
