WA; Facebook rape: Rodney Charles Rayner jailed 11 years

A FORMER military man who repeatedly raped a woman he met online as her children slept in a nearby room, taunting and humiliating her for more than two hours, has been jailed in WA for 11 years.

Rodney Charles Rayner, 49, communicated with the 51-year-old victim on Facebook and by telephone before meeting for the first time at his home in November 2015, the WA District Court heard on Friday.

He subjected her to a ruthless, brutal and sustained sex attack, causing bruising and swelling all over her face and body, Judge Christopher Stevenson said.

The woman begged him to stop, yet he showed no pity, and the judge said Rayner’s actions were sadistic.

He said Rayner maximised the woman’s humiliation and degradation, and took pleasure in her distress.
