A RAPIST is set to be freed on parole — despite one of his victims warning he will strike again.

Lee Hill, handed three life sentences in 2000, was declared safe to be released.

But a mum of two he raped at knife-point in her home said: “I have no doubt he is capable of raping someone again.

“He is an extreme danger to the public.

“He had every intention of murdering me, and he’s capable of murdering someone now.”

She was attacked by Hill, now 49, at her home in Esher, Surrey, in 1999 — five months after he was released from another nine-year sentence for another rape.

The woman, now 56, had returned from visiting her husband in hospital and was reading in bed when he broke in.

Hill slashed her with a knife and threatened to kill her and ­her two-year-old daughter who was sleeping in the next room.

The victim met Hill in prison in 2014 as part of a restorative justice initiative but did not think he had changed.

She said: “He told me he had planned to break into someone’s house for fun.

“To me, that is inhumane. It’s beyond sadistic. None of us know what he is going to do and that’s what worries me.”

The Parole Board confirmed his release but said protecting the public was its “number one priority”.
