A 31-year-old man is behind bars today after being convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at knifepoint.

Kijon Baker was armed with the blade when he walked into the victim’s home in November last year and then subjected her to a terrifying sex attack at night.

On Monday afternoon a jury unanimously found him guilty of aggravated burglary and serious sexual assault.

During a five-day trial in Supreme Court jurors heard how Baker was arrested after the attack after DNA evidence linked him to the crime.

When he was interviewed Baker replied ‘no comment’ to police questions, and although he denied the offences during the trial he did not take the stand to give evidence.

After Monday’s verdict Baker was remanded in custody until the December arraignments when a sentencing date will be set.
