A serial rapist drugged his victim with sleeping tablets being attacking her and sharing video and photos of his crimes with others.
Lee Hampton has been jailed for seven counts of rape following a trial.
The 50-year-old, from Hollingbourne, near Maidstone, was also found guilty of four counts of assault by penetration and two of administering a drug with intent.
The offences took place between January 2017 and October 2020 in Wiltshire and involved one victim, a woman in her 30s.
Across the four years, Hampton drugged the victim against her will on several occasions, crushing sleeping tablets up and putting them inside cold and flu tablets which she consumed.
He then raped her while she was asleep and attempted to spike her food with sleeping pills to facilitate his offending.
Hampton then shared videos and images of his crimes with third parties.
‘I still have daily flashbacks and nightmares, both of what happened and the unknowns…’
In a personal statement, the victim said: “The psychological damage cannot begin to be put into words, and I don’t know how to try and express the impact this has had on me.
“I worry for my future, that I will never be able to trust anyone again [and] that I will never enjoy a healthy relationship again – that I will never be me.
“I still have daily flashbacks and nightmares, both of what happened and the unknowns.”
Hampton is due to be sentenced at a later date.
DC Kolasinski, of Wiltshire Police, said: “There is no place in society for the horrific criminality that has taken place here.
“It represents some of the worst behaviour imaginable in humanity and has no place in this day and age.
“I would like to thank the victim for her unwavering bravery during this investigation and subsequent trial.
“Without this support, justice may not have been brought to the offender.
“The courage that she has demonstrated should be admired and inspire others to come forward should they fall victim in such an egregious circumstance.”
