A rape victim who lobbied the state to collect DNA from all convicted felons is finally enjoying a measure of justice.

A Queens jury has convicted the man who attacked her in 1996.

Jurors deliberated for less than 20 minutes before finding Richard Thomas guilty of rape and robbery.

District Attorney Richard Brown says the case was made possible by the victim herself.

In 2006, Carol Dickerson told her story publicly and pressed legislators to pass a law forcing felons to give DNA samples for potential matches to other crimes.

That led to a match in her own unsolved case in 2007.

DNA collected from Thomas after he was jailed for an unrelated crime linked him to both Dickerson’s assault and the 2004 rape of a 12-year-old girl.

He faces decades in prison.
