WARNING: Graphic content. Sick Ketut Pujayasa choked the victim until she was unconscious, then raped her before trying to throw her into the sea
These shocking pictures show a cruise ship guest's horrific injuries after she was brutally beaten then raped by a room service attendant who tried to throw her overboard.
The woman was alone on the boat, which was sailing through the Caribbean the night before Valentine's Day, when Ketut Pujayasa pounced after hiding in her cupboard.
For almost an hour, the twisted 29-year-old beat and choked her until she fell unconscious, then raped her and tried to throw her off the Holland America Line cruise ship's balcony into the sea.
During the 40-minute ordeal, the victim suffered bites to her hands, a spinal fracture, a traumatic brain injury and bruising and cuts across her body, her lawyers claimed.
She also suffered from serious mental scarring and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Pujayasa is behind bars serving a 30-year jail term after pleading guilty to attempted murder and aggravated sexual assault.
He told the court the February 13 attack was revenge for the woman calling him a "son of a b***," so later on, he broke into her bedroom using a master key and hid in a cupboard.
When she arrived, he leapt out and launched the sickening assault as the screaming victim fought back, according to the SeattlePI.
During the fight, Pujayasa tried to throw the woman overboard, before battering and choking her with several cords until she passed out and then raped her.
When the victim awoke partially naked, she managed to escape down the hall with the cord of a curling iron still wrapped around her neck.
But when panicked passengers called the ship's emergency services, it took them between 40 minutes and an hour to respond.
This was because the call was given a low priority, according to her lawyer, a claim Holland America deny.
Now the victim, from Michigan, US, who has not been named to protect her identity, is suing the cruise company for "gross negligence", seeking several hundred million dollars.
A spokesperson for Holland America told Mirror Online: "We are terribly saddened that this event occurred.
"Our thoughts, prayers and support remain with the victim and we are committed to a fair and collaborative resolution of this tragic event. It is right that justice prevailed and the perpetrator was sentenced accordingly.
"To our knowledge, no incident like this has occurred before in our company’s 142-year history. It is our highest priority to ensure the safety and security of our guests.
"We do strongly refute the statement that emergency calls to our staff related to this situation were given anything but the highest priority."
