A BRAVE victim of evil Tinder rapist Patrick Nevin has told of her fears she’d be killed after she was targeted by the monster.

As the 35-year-old Brazilian woman continues to recover from her ordeal, she breaks her silence to reveal details of her ongoing torment.

In her only interview since Nevin was jailed for five-and-a-half years for sexual assault last month, she told the Irish Sun how the sicko sent her a chilling message the day after the attack asking if she was “OK”.

And she branded him as “pure evil” for preying on her and other innocent women over the years.

She said: “I will always hate him for what he did to me. He’s a real danger to women and always will be.

"When he sent me the text the following day it was as if everything was normal. This was a callous act because it looked as if he was concerned about me.

“Thank God I managed to get away from him because he could have raped or killed me.

“When he stopped the car, he completely changed in seconds.

“Suddenly we were in a place with a lot of trees and he said he was lost. He drove into an empty green space and locked the doors and then he turned into a monster.

“He started swearing at me in a horrible tone of voice and was full of hate — I had never experienced anything like it.

“He started trying to put his hands up my dress and there was a struggle. He started hitting me and punched me on the back of the head.

“He hit me on the legs and arms. It must have been only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity.

"I wasn’t sure if he was going to rape me or kill me. I was fighting back and managed to get out of the car and started screaming.”

She added: “I was left with bruises all over my legs and arms and I was frozen to the spot and couldn’t move.

"I’d seen some people when we were driving into the area but now there was nobody around.

“I came out from where I was so slowly because I wasn’t sure if he was gone and I thought he might be still hidden and waiting for me.

“I was so, so scared. He had changed so quickly, he wasn’t the same person.

“I didn’t know if he had friends who he would send after me.

“I moved house and changed my number but I was absolutely terrified for a year that he’d get someone to get me. It totally destroyed my trust in men.”

The English language student, who cannot be named to protect her identity, first encountered the fiend on Tinder weeks before the attack.

Nevin left a series of explicit messages before the woman stopped communicating with him.

But the monster contacted her again and promised to help her find employment.

The Brazilian native then agreed to meet him because he was “friendlier”.

She said: “When he first made contact all he was doing was trying to introduce sex talk into the conversation so I told him I wasn’t interested and I cut him off.

“I was looking to meet friends and improve my English.

“Then he got back in contact again but he was much kinder. I realise now this was all part of his plan to attack me.

“I had just arrived in Ireland and I had no job and very little English and he promised to help me get some work and help me with my level of the language.

"He also told me he would bring me to the best cafe in Dublin.

“He seemed to have changed and I agreed to meet because I thought we were just going for a coffee in the city centre.”

He changed completely in seconds. He started swearing at me in a horrible tone of voice and was full of hate

She then agreed to meet him in the city centre but was shocked to find him in his car.

Nevin told her he was coming from the gym and would drive her to a nearby coffee shop.

His victim added: “I made the mistake of getting in because I thought it would be a short journey.

“As soon as I sat in his car, he was talking constantly.

“As my English was so limited I had to really concentrate on what he was saying and I was looking at him the whole time, so I didn’t notice where we were going.

“Suddenly we were in a place with a lot of trees and he said he was lost.

"He drove into an empty green space where no one could see us.

"He changed completely in seconds. He started swearing at me in a horrible tone of voice and was full of hate - I’d never experienced anything like it.

“In court, he looked at me several times, trying to intimidate me, as if I shouldn’t have been there at all.

“It was like he hated me because I had stopped him whereas he had succeeded with some other girls, but I wouldn’t let him.”

The survivor told of the impact the July 2014 attack had on her.

She added: “I was so scared after it. Even little things scare me to see people fighting or even just shouting in the street, I can’t handle it.

“It reminds me of that moment when he attacked me and I never want to think of that again.

“He’s a disgusting individual. I don’t believe anything he says. He’s destroyed so many women’s lives and nobody will ever know what they’ve gone through.

"I’ve never blamed Ireland or the Irish for what happened. It could have happened anywhere and I hope to come back to Ireland someday.

“The gardai helped me so much, they were very good, particularly Inspector Denis Ellard.”

Nevin’s victim, who spent over a day and a half in the witness box after he denied a sex assault charge, also urged victims of sexual violence to come forward.

She added: “I came forward the day after the incident and would plead with anyone who finds themselves in the same situation as me to please come forward and work with the gardai.

"The gardai were very compassionate and caring towards me and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me and for helping me get justice.”

Nevin will be sentenced next May for two other attacks also carried out in July 2014. He raped one woman and sexually assaulted another, having met both on Tinder.
