Jason Anthony Sarich pleaded not guilty to committing rape at the Tinana Hotel when he appeared before the Maryborough District Court but was found guilty by a jury.

Mr Anoozer said Sarich had asked the woman for sex and she told him she wasn’t ready.

He then forced her to give him oral sex to the point where she “couldn’t breathe,” Mr Anoozer said.

The woman responded by biting his penis a couple of times, he said.

Sarich then screamed at her and left.

The woman later told others about the alleged incident and she was taken to police to report it.

Sarich was sentenced to three years in prison, to be suspended after serving 18 months behind bars.
