Fake Indian lingerie executive guilty of raping aspiring model
January 29th, 2010 - 1:42 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, January 29 (ANI): Indian origin Paul Rajendran has been found guilty of raping a woman after luring her by pretending to be an executive working with lingerie firm La Perla.
The convict had used a fake MySpace profile, with name James Carter, to arrange a meeting with the 23-year-old aspiring model in early March 2009.
He then arranged a meeting and raped her in a nearby office block, according to prosecutors.
A Downing Centre District Court jury of seven women and five men took a little over a day to decide on a guilty verdict.
Rajendran reportedly started crying after the decision was made, reports News.com.au.
Judge Deborah Payne also refused the application from Rajendran’s barrister for bail.
The court has ordered for a full pre-sentence report before it takes up the case on April 15. (ANI)
