A 33-year-old man who pleaded guilty to two counts of rape has been sentenced to five years and seven months imprisonment by the Labasa High Court.
Vilikesa Rasiga had raped a 29-year-old man on 18th January last year at Nacekoro in Savusavu.
Judge Justice Vinsent Perera stated that Rasiga had pushed the victim at the foreshore at Nacekoro and had forcefully performed the sexual acts on him while covering the victim's mouth to stop him from screaming.
A non-parole period of three years and four months has been set.
