A former care home boss has been jailed for six years after he raped a drunk woman in a train toilet and even called out to his oblivious wife during the assault.

Timothy Davies, 45, tricked his partner into thinking he was helping the victim when he took her into the cubicle on a Southeastern service to Ramsgate from Canterbury.

During the short 20 minute journey, he attacked the woman even when she was sick and called to wife Cheryl when she tried to open the locked door.

At his the trial Davies said: 'I told my wife she was being sick because I didn't want her knowing I was having sex with another woman.'

CCTV played in court showed Davies leaving the row of seats where he was sat with his wife, and escorting the drunk woman to the toilet.

When the pair entered the cubicle his wife could be seen pacing up and down the carriage, seemingly looking for her husband.

She stood outside and tried the handle as the attack unfolded, and Davies claimed he couldn't let her in as the victim was being ill.

Giving evidence from behind a screen, Davies' victim said she was drunk and helpless at the time of the assault.

She said her life was thrown into turmoil after the attack, which she was made to feel was her 'own fault'.

Since the incident she has been suffering panic attacks, uncontrollable crying and stress-related fits.

The woman also told the court giving evidence in the same room as her attacker was the 'toughest experience in my life.'

While giving evidence on Thursday Davies said he was 'embarrassed for cheating' on his wife and had 'no idea' why his victim wanted him locked up, reports KentOnline.

After his arrest Davies schemed to persuade the authorities his victim initiated intercourse. He accused her of lying, suggesting the sex was consensual.

But a jury unanimously convicted him of rape at Canterbury Crown Court on Friday.

The ex-manager of Margate's Durham House, run by Ethelbert Children's Service, stared straight ahead as his friends and family gasped in the public gallery when the verdict was announced.

Jailing Davies for six years Recorder Stuart Trimmer QC, said: 'Her life was turned upside down because of these five minutes inside the toilet cubicle.

'Not only did you do it you called out to your wife outside, while she was being sick.

'While those words were being uttered you were having sex with the drunken woman.'
