Knox viewed the woman 'as an easy touch'.

Kevin Knox was put behind bars by a woman he saw ‘as an easy touch’ A rapist ‘ended up essentially drugging himself’ when his victim clocked his plan to spike her and swapped their drinks around. Kevin Knox, 33, had raped the woman months earlier as she lay on her bed unable to resist after he’d spike her drink with sleeping tablets. But this time she was ready and waiting to take ‘matters into her own hands’ in order to put her attacker behind bars.

Zopiclone was found in his system after his arrest – the very same drug that had been discovered in the woman’s system after he first attacked. Her quick-thinking two months before meant traces of semen had recovered by swabs taken from her, and these were later matched with Knox. None of Knox’s four prior convictions were for sexual offences, Robert Wyn Jones, appearing for the prosecution yesterday, told the court.
