A man who removed his condom during consensual sex with a prostitute has been jailed for 12 years for raping her.
Lee Hogben, 35, ignored his victim’s repeated objections and carried on having unprotected sex with her in a room at the four-star Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset.
In doing so Hogben broke the agreed terms of consent with the escort, aged in her 20s, who then went to the police.
He was arrested on suspicion of rape the next day and forensic tests taken from the complainant matched Hogben’s DNA to a probability of one in a billion.
Hogben denied the charge of rape but was found guilty following a trial.
He threatened to kill the woman’s grandparents when she complained, saying in a message: ‘I’m going to have your head smashed in for what you’ve done to me’ and ‘I’m gonna kill your grandparents’.
After being jailed for 12 years, Hogben threatened to shoot the sentencing judge in an angry outburst. Appearing via video-link at Bournemouth Crown Court, he told judge Stephen Climie: ‘I’m coming for you. You’ll get a shotgun in the face at night.’
The court heard the victim advertised her services on an adult work website. She specifically indicated online that all her clients must use protection when with her.
Hogben made contact with her and the pair met at the hotel in his home town on January 19 last year. The pair agreed a price in advance for two hours of her services.
Jodie Mittell, prosecuting, said the escort claimed Hogben threatened her with violence when she resisted him during sex.
