Serial rapist described as 'a woman's worst nightmare' jailed for 20 years

A night stalker who broke into the homes of women and raped them has been jailed for 20 years.

The 51-year-old managed to evade police for nearly a decade.

Serial rapist Jason Juan Burr pleaded guilty at Southport District Court to 18 charges, including 10 counts of rape, over an eight-year period.

His vile crimes began back in 2008, when he broke in to a home at Coombabah and sexually assaulted a woman in her bedroom.

He didn't strike again until November 2015, when he confronted a woman in her Springwood home before restraining and threatening to sexually assault her, then fleeing.

Two months later he forced his way into a Sunnybank house and raped his next victim.

In Febuary 2016 he climbed through the window on a Southport home and raped a fourth woman.

Burr was finally arrested in January 2017, when his DNA was found after he indecently touched a young girl.

Judge Julie Dick today told the court "there was a significant amount of calculation" in Burr's offending and that his crimes were "a woman's worst nightmare."

It's a nightmare that is not over for Burr's victims.

He will be eligible for parole in 2032.
