Kevin Knox spiked his victim's drink with sleeping tablets before sexually abusing her as she lay powerless to resist in her own bed in Liverpool.
A woman who recognised her rapist "took matters into her own hands" in order to bring him to justice.
Gareth Roberts, prosecuting, described the "strange circumstances of the case", with the victim having been "supplementing her income" by working as an escort at the time - the Liverpool Echo reports. Knox again poured two drinks, but she switched their glasses without him realising. He then "started to demonstrate signs of having been drugged" and was later dropped off at a petrol station by the woman.
Mr Roberts told the jury: "The crown say that, in August, he went round to the flat of an escort intending to have sex, whether she liked it or not and whether he was able to pay or not. The crown say that he saw her as an easy touch and that, a couple of months later, he went round to the same address with the intention of doing exactly the same thing."
"He is now facing a substantial prison sentence, with little experience of the legal system, for these very grave offences. He is an educated individual who has had employment in bars and warehouses."
