Man jailed for 12 years for removing condom during sex with a prostitute

A man who removed his condom during sex with a prostitute has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for rape. 

Lee Hogben, 35, ignored his victim as she told him ‘I don’t do that – please no’ and threatened her when she tried to wriggle free.

He contacted his victim online through an adult work website where she specifically said clients must wear protection.

They met at the Royal Bath Hotel in his hometown Bournemouth, Dorset, on January 19 last year after agreeing a price for two hours – the money she never received.

Prosecutor Jodie Mittell said Hogben threatened the sex worker with violence when she resisted him.

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.’

The victim eventually left the hotel, told police and Hogben was arrested the following day before being linked to the rape from DNA.

As he was sentenced after a trial he threatened to shoot judge Stephen Climie telling him ‘I’m coming for you. You’ll get a shotgun in the face at night.’

The victim told Bournemouth Crown Court that she had considered self-harm as a result of the rape.
