As she lay frozen with fear, tied to her bed, a metal blade poked into her skin, the Bulli rapist uttered words that still haunt her 30 years later.
"He said he knew he was going to get caught. It was only a matter of time. He said he knew he would get out eventually and he said he would be coming back for me."
The young mother of two, who was six months pregnant at the time, had just been sexually assaulted. She was trying to come to grips with an even more horrific reality - that her five-year-old daughter in the next room had been violated too.
"What he said to me ... it plays on my mind all the time," the 54-year-old said this week.
"I know that it's highly unlikely but it's still real and it's still something I have to live with every day.
"The judge gave him 24 years for what he did to us. What gives him the right to give me life?"
The woman, who cannot be named, was the Bulli rapist's second last victim.
"I was the pregnant one with the five-year-old daughter," she said, referring to the 11 victims Terry Williamson pleaded guilty to terrorising over a 10-month period in Wollongong's northern suburbs between 1989 and 1990.
"He was seen before he broke into our house and unbeknown to me police were doing the rounds looking for him.
"He told me while he was in my bedroom that police were going past my house looking for him.
He sexually assaulted her. And he threatened that if she ever said a word he would come back and kill me.

"He was laughing at them, watching out the window. He said 'Look, they've got no idea'.
"Unbeknown to me at the time, it was his grandmother's house I was renting. He knew the layout and which window only locked half way."
The mother carries a lot of guilt over the appalling ordeal.
"I couldn't do anything to help my daughter," she said.
"When you have people saying to you after it's all happened that 'you should have done this, you should have done that ... It's hard enough dealing with what happened without that."
The woman, who spoke exclusively to the Mercury after Williamson's supervision order was lifted last week, said the predator had left her and her daughter with emotional scars that will never heal.
"It was 2.15 in the morning when it happened. He sexually assaulted me, but I'm the only victim he didn't rape. I was six months pregnant.
"He had just left my room, I wasn't sure that he had actually gone, I got out of the restraint and I was just about to get out of the bed and he came back into the room with the knife again, he tied me up tighter.
"My five-year-old was in the other room. He ended up bringing her in to the same room as me after he hurt her.
"After it all he just went out the front door. I didn't realise he had gone, I laid there for a while until I heard nothing. I got up and eventually got out of the ties, grabbed my daughter, she was now in bed beside me, and ran next door."
The woman says her daughter had a "rough time growing up", which counsellors told her to expect.
"He sexually assaulted her. And he threatened that if she ever said a word he would come back and kill me."
The woman said the case was "one of the ones" that got Williamson convicted and sent to jail. He left semen at the scene.
The court papers tell it like this. Chilling in its matter-of-fact account.
"Early in the morning of 22 March 1990, the sixth victim, a woman then aged 24 years, was at home with the seventh victim, her five-year-old daughter, along with her two-year-old son.
"At the time, the sixth victim was pregnant. The sixth victim was in one bedroom with her son. The seventh victim was lying in another, smaller bedroom.
"About 3 AM the defendant stood on a garbage can at the side of the house and used a folding knife to manipulate the lock on a window. He entered the home and went to the bedroom of the sixth victim. At the time he was wearing a balaclava and gloves, and was in possession of the knife.
"The defendant threatened the sixth victim, blindfolded her with material found in the room, and bound her hands behind her back.
"The defendant then pulled up the sixth victim's nightdress, and cut her pants from her body.
"He placed his hand on the outside of her vagina. The defendant then left the room to search the house for valuables.
"While the defendant was absent, the sixth victim worked her hands free and removed the blindfold. The defendant subsequently returned to the sixth victim's bedroom, rebound her hands, and blindfolded her again. While doing this he repeatedly poked the sixth victim with the point of his knife.
"The defendant then went to the smaller bedroom where the seventh victim, the five-year-old daughter, was sleeping. He woke her up, and told to take off her nightdress. She did so.
"The defendant then attempted to have penile/vaginal sexual intercourse with the seventh victim, but was unable to do so because of the size of her body. The seventh victim began to cry.
"After dressing and undressing the seventh victim, the defendant inserted his penis into her mouth, and ejaculated onto a towel in the bedroom. At a later time he again inserted his penis into the mouth of the seventh victim, while he was alone with her in the smaller bedroom.
"The defendant then left the premises. At this stage the sixth victim was still bound and blindfolded. After approximately 15 minutes the sixth victim was able to work her hands free and remove the blindfold. She then alerted the local police. Throughout the ordeal the sixth victim feared for the safety of her two children, her own safety, and the safety of her unborn child."
The stories of all victims are equally as chilling - women and children who suffered at the hands of a depraved, calculated predator who has since admitted his crimes were for his own sexual gratification.
Williamson was given a non-parole period of 14 years but remained locked up for almost 22 years as authorities repeatedly knocked back his parole applications.
He was finally released on the seventh attempt, in February 2012.
When Williamson's overall sentence expired in May 2014, prosecutors successfully applied to the NSW Supreme Court to have him placed on an extended supervision order for a further five years.
That meant he had to adhere to strict conditions including wearing an ankle bracelet, continuing with counselling and remain on anti-libido medication, which he'd been taking since 2004.
However, with that order due to expire on July 3 this year, the State applied to have Williamson slapped with a second order, arguing he still presented a high risk to public safety.
But Justice David Davies refused to make the order, saying he wasn't convinced that Williamson ought to be subject to continued monitoring.
The judge relied on three recent reports - two from Williamson's treating psychologists and one from his Community Correction officers.
They revealed Williamson had been a model citizen during his time in the community, having never breached his parole, always taken his anti-libido medication and completed all required psychological interventions.
So the end result: Williamson is free to go wherever he chooses. He is no longer being monitored by parole authorities and his around-the-clock supervision has been permanently terminated.
For at least one of his victims, who still lives in the Illawarra, the judge's decision is upsetting and confusing.
"No one asked me what I thought, what I want," the mum said. "The main thing I want is for him to never be allowed back into this area.
"There has never been any remorse, nothing, and I don't want to live life looking over my shoulder.
"I don't want that for my daughter. These things don't just affect the victim, there is a ripple effect for the whole family and we have suffered enough.
"Keep him out of the Illawarra. I don't think that's too much to ask."
