A sick stalker who left his victim living in fear raped her as she was in her kitchen making a hot drink after work.
Alireza Ghodrat, 25, from Dodd Road in Watford, met his victim by chance five months before the violent attack.
The pair messaged each other via text on a platonic basis.
However, Ghodrat became obsessed with the woman and went to her home without being invited on a number of occasions.
On two occasions, the woman woke up to find him in her bedroom, staring at her.
He later raped her in her own kitchen in December 2018, as she was making a drink after work.
