A victim of a double rapist who drugged and attacked her in her own flat after meeting on the Plenty of Fish dating site said she hopes the ‘predator’ receives a long jail term.

Christina Evans Argent, 50, was attacked by George Cummings, 55, from Glasgow at her flat in Oban in January 2016.

The pair had exchanged messages before finally meeting in person for a drink.

Cummings attacked Ms Evans Argent some 23 years after raping a 42-year-old woman in Langbank, Renfrewshire.

On Wednesday, Cummings was found guilty of the two attacks at the High Court in Glasgow.

He was remanded in custody until sentencing next month.

During their online correspondence, Cummings claimed he looked like the celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, but when they met in real life, he was nothing of the sort.

She said they had a bottle of Rioja at her flat and she remembered telling him that she does not have sex with people she had just met.

Cummings handed Ms Evans Argent a glass of wine and later poured his drink into hers and asked her to sit closer.

She said the last thing she remembered was trying to stand up with her head next to his chest.

Following his conviction, Ms Evans Argent said she wanted to speak out and warn other women about her ordeal.

She told the Daily Record: ‘I went upstairs and Cummings was standing naked. He was holding a small sandwich bag which had a lot of white powder in it.

‘He grabbed the back of my neck and forced the drug into my mouth. I tried to spit it out and told him to stop.

‘I managed to get to the toilet and he followed me in and assaulted me. I was terrified, I thought he was going to kill me.’

Ms Evans Argent said she was thinking that she would never see her children again if she did not obey his commands.

She said Cummings refused to leave her home until midday.

Following her ordeal she said she has been left ‘broken’ and said he had ‘ruined her life’, but having faced him in court she is no longer scared of him.

She said she is convinced there are other victims out there and urged the women to come forward.

She also warned women of the dangers of meeting strangers online.

Glasgow High Court heard Cummings boasted he wanted a threesome with her and a 10-year-old girl.

Ms Evans Argent said: ‘He told me people said he looked a lot like Gordon Ramsay. When I saw him in the flesh I thought “what have I done”.’

She told the court that the first thing Cummings did when he went into her home was to go into her kitchen alone and pour two glasses of Rioja.

After drinking the wine the woman, who was wearing black trousers, a black tunic top and boots, has no memory until she woke up at 3am dressed in a red dress and shoes.

She said: ‘I knew I had been drugged with something.’

When she woke at 3am Cummings drugged her again by forcing powder into her mouth.

She said: ‘I told him I was worried something bad was going to happen and I felt vulnerable and he said he said: ‘That’s okay I like my women vulnerable.

‘I was worried I wasn’t going to see my children again. I just wanted to make it through to the morning and for him to go.

‘At one point he said he wanted a threesome with me and a 10-year-old girl.’

The woman described a ‘painful’ sexual assault by Cummings, who has previous convictions dating back to 1979, and said he offered to set her up as a prostitute.

She said she had made it clear to him she was not going to have sex with him.

Cummings was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of raping a 47-year-old woman in a flat in Langbank on September 22, 1992, and raping a 50 -year-old woman in a flat in Oban on January 6, 2016.

His crimes were committed 23 years apart but bear chilling similarities.

Cummings’ first victim had her soft drinks spiked first with amphetamine at a bar and then with cocaine in Cummings’ flat in Langbank.

He then raped her in the flat. His victim said she felt helpless and added: ‘I told him a couple of times I didn’t want sex, but he just carried on.’

The woman said when he raped her she was in a lot of pain and felt ‘like I was being ripped apart’, and added: ‘He was enjoying the pain he was inflicting on me.’

The jury heard that during the violent attack Cummings ripped out handfuls of the woman’s hair and threatened to turn her into a prostitute.

She also woke up to find at one point to find most of her clothing had been removed.

In evidence Cummings, who described himself as a self employed buyer of commodities and vehicles, denied ever having anyone more than a kiss and a cuddle with either victim and accused them both of being liars.

Judge Johanna Johnson QC deferred sentence until next month for reports and remanded Cummings in custody.

She also put him on the sex offenders’ register.

The judge said: ‘You have been convicted by the jury of two of the most serious offences within our legal system.’
