A Third World limo driver has pleaded guilty to raping a law student - and trying to hire a hitman for $5,000 to kill her while he was behind bars

Rajeev Kumar, 31, committed the sexual assault in the back seat of his car in 2000 but wasn't busted until a DNA match in an arson case linked him to the crime a decade later. Kumar admitted that he hatched a diabolical plan to get rid of his accuser while he was locked up on Rikers Island in September 2010. Kumar's murder-for-hire plan was blown open in a sting operation in which he offered $5,000 to an undercover cop and gave him two photographs and the address of his victim. The woman had just left the Manhattan club S.O.B.'s in August 2000 when Kumar offered to drive her home, then attacked her and dumped her. The woman said that she could not identify her assailant and the DNA in her rape kit did not match anything in the criminal database. That changed in July 2009 when fire marshals arrested Kumar in an insurance scam.
