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.
