A MAN accused of the rape of a 20-year-old woman at a resort in Nadi has been convicted of the offence.

Shaneil Reddy has been convicted of two counts of rape and one count of theft following a judgment by Justice Daniel Goundar at the High Court in Suva today.

The court heard Reddy met the complainant on November 30, 2018, at a Nadi hotel after she had withdrawn from an ATM there.

Reddy and his wife then invited the complainant to their hotel room.

While there, the complainant passed out, after which Reddy put her in a cab and took her to a resort where he raped her.

Reddy reappeared in court this afternoon for his sentencing submissions.
