Victorian County Court Judge Duncan Allen adjudged Hodson guilty to rape, causing serious injury and threatening injury, and described the violent activity as shocking and horrific.


"This has had a devastating impact on her in her old age," News.com.au quoted the judge as telling Hodson.

The prosecution submitted that he should be jailed for eight to 10 years, with a non-parole period of six to eight years.
