A Waterford businessman has been convicted of raping a Croatian prostitute in a local upmarket hotel after he hired her by phone through a Cork based escorts agency.

Billy Keogh (aged 46), a married man and father of six, of Wilder, Kilmeaden was found guilty by a jury at the Central Criminal Court of raping the 26-year-old woman who claimed he told her he was a garda and also threatened to throw her out of the hotel window.
