Man Who Removed Condom During Sex With Prostitute Is Jailed For Rape. Photo

A man who took off his condom during consensual sex with a prostitute has been jailed for 12 years for raping her. Lee Hogben, 35, ignored his female victim’s repeated objections and carried on having unprotected sex with her in a hotel room at the historic four-star Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth, England.

In doing so Hogben ‘broke the agreed terms of consent’ with the escort 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.

After being sentenced Hogben threatened to shoot the sentencing judge in an angry outburst.

Appearing via video-link at Bournemouth Crown Court, Dorset, 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, aged in her 20s, 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 a hotel in his home town of Bournemouth 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.

She said: “Hogben went beyond what was consented to by removing the protection, which the complainant will say was a condition of intercourse.

“She repeatedly protested, ‘I don’t do that – please, no’. “She tried to wriggle away but he told her to stop. “He told her he had beaten people up and robbed people.”

Afterwards Hogben left without paying the woman despite spending two hours in her company.

Ms Mittell read aloud a victim impact statement from the victim. In it she said she has considered self-harm as a result of what had happened to her.

Hogden, who is a known offender with dozens of previous convictions for harassment and driving offences, was convicted of rape and two counts of assault in relation to the escort.
