A judge has recommended a violent rapist with HIV is deported after he serves an 11-year jail sentence.

Eddy Biharanduka, 38, was given the lengthy sentence for a brutal late-night attack on a young woman in Brighton.

It was the second time Biharanduka, a failed asylum seeker, had stood trial for the crime.

Biharanduka, of Oriental Place, Brighton, was convicted the first time of the rape in March last year but he successfully appealed on the grounds it was unfair the jury was told he was HIV positive.

He argued forcing the victim to have unprotected sex when he knew he had HIV aggravated the offence.

He was convicted the second time after a re-trial at Lewes Crown Court.

Judge David Rennie described Biharanduka as having a cruel and callous streak and said the attack had been every woman's nightmare.

He said: "You have been found guilty on the very clearest of evidence of the brutal and cowardly rape of a young woman.

"The facts of this case must be every woman's nightmare. You showed not an ounce of compassion, sympathy or humanity. You subjected her to a lengthy ordeal out in the street only yards from the safety of her own home. It is almost impossible to imagine her anguish and suffering.

"You knew you were HIV positive at the time but you could not have cared less - you used no protection.

"Not only did she have to endure a violent rape but the additional nightmare of waiting to see if you had passed on to her a life-threatening disease. Mercifully, you had not."

During the week-long trial the jury heard how the 21-year-old barmaid fought for her life after being dragged down a side street as she walked home alone from a nightclub in the early hours of April 2 2005.

She was only yards from her flat when he grabbed her in Stone Street and pushed her into a doorway at the back of a shop.

She tried to scream for help but he put his hand over her mouth and threatened to kill her.

Her terrifying ordeal only ended when two passing delivery drivers, who suspected she was in trouble, approached the couple and repeatedly asked if she was alright. She ran towards them in tears telling them she had been raped.

Biharanduka told the court the woman had wanted him to make love to her in the doorway and he thought they were having fun.

He claimed she only cried rape because she was embarrassed the delivery drivers had seen her having sex in the street.

The judge ordered that Biharanduka sign on the sex offenders register for the rest of his life.

He also awarded £500 each from public funds to the two men who came to the victim's rescue, Theo Cronin, 27, a journalist, and Alistair Endean, 31, a student.

The judge said he was recommending to the Home Office Biharanduka, a Burindi national, is deported when he completes his jail sentence.

The court heard the offence took place after Biharanduka's application for asylum had been refused in 2001 but he had remained in the country.

The judge said: "Your continuing presence in this country after your sentence is served is very much against the public interest. I recommend you are deported."

The victim's father, who had been in court every day of the trial, said his daughter was "over the moon" at the verdict of the jury.

He said: "As far as I am concerned he should be deported. He is just a predator."
