A judge heard how the 44 year-old had been freed from prison for a previous rape offence.Burns pleaded guilty to raping the woman at addresses in the north and east of the city between 2018 and 2022.The first attack occurred after the woman earlier told Burns she did not want to have sex.Prosecutor David Dickson said:"She was awoken by Burns who informed her that he had sex with her while she was sleeping.But, three months later, Burns struck again.
In December 2019, the woman went to bed one night and woke to discover Burns had sex once more with her while she was asleep.But, Mr Dickson said on"one or two other occasions" weeks later the woman discovered she had further been taken advantage of.However, at the start of 2022, the victim found out she had been raped a final time.The woman confided in a family member and this time police were alerted. Burns was arrested that night.
Prosecutors have asked for a full risk assessment to be carried out on Burns, which could eventually lead to an Order for Lifelong Restriction.Judge Douglas Brown remanded him in custody and adjourned the case until October.
