A man who "horribly" raped a woman he met on an internet dating site has been jailed for three years.

Roy Hronas, 35, of Melbourne, had consensual sex with the woman before he raped her, the Victorian County Court was told at his sentencing today.

The pair had met on an internet dating site and exchanged texts and emails before she went to Hronas's home in St Albans in September 2007, Judge Paul Lacava said.

Judge Lacava said what amounted to Hronas's idea of sexual gratification was "complete defilement" to the woman.

"Make no mistake rape in any form is a very serious offence and is intolerable in any civilised society," he said.
