Phillip Wilson looked anything but sorry as he stood in the prisoner’s box after being branded a dangerous offender for drugging, raping and secretly videotaping 13 women.

The serial rapist who preyed on bar staff in the ByWard Market looked past the rows of his victims, then tapped over his heart twice and whispered his love for his aunt seated in the back of Courtroom No. 37.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland didn’t buy Wilson’s last-minute remorse at trial and said the angry and arrogant rapist’s testimony was self-serving. The judge said it appeared as though Wilson made it up as he went along.

The judge said Wilson, 34, has little empathy and no insight about consent.

In fact, when confronted on the stand about some of the rapes, Wilson testified that the moans of some of his incapacitated victims were signs of sexual consent.

Wilson, a drug dealer to bar staff and their regulars, was found guilty at a 2017 trial that was anchored in his own shocking collection of rape videos.
