A man who raped a "confused and vulnerable" student he met on a street near his home has been jailed for nine years.

Uvesh Vahora, 36, who had moved to the UK from India two months earlier, saw the woman in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on 9 April as she struggled to unlock her front door.

He was seen on CCTV leading the 25-year-old victim to his house, where she recalled being taken to the basement before he took her phone away and raped her.

At Leeds Crown Court, Judge Guy Kearle KC told Vahora he "took advantage of her vulnerability to satisfy your selfish sexual desire". He said although he could not order it, Vahora's deportation was an "inevitable consequence of this sentence".

The court heard Vahora had moved to Leeds to study for a Masters degree in business administration at York St John University, but had been held on remand since his arrest.

Judge Kearle said the victim was also a student in Leeds at the time of the attack and had been working to overcome a ketamine addiction.

She had support for her addiction from Forward Leeds and her family were sending her vouchers to allow her to buy food.

The court heard on the day she was attacked, the victim had left the house to go to a shop. She had taken some ketamine just beforehand and "misjudged the effect it would have on her".

Judge Kearle said: "The ketamine deprived her of the ability to think clearly and it was her misfortune that you saw her in that confused state.

"CCTV showed she was standing at her door trying to get in and initially it looked as though you were trying to help.

"It is now clear you had seen an opportunity to take advantage of her."

Vahora had denied rape. The court heard during his trial how the victim had needed the toilet and Vahora had said she could use his.

In her "highly confused state", she had walked with him to his house and he attacked her there.

Judge Kearle said she had been "unable to put up any physical resistance, partly because of the effect of ketamine but partly because she feared she would be harmed by you".

In a victim impact statement read to the court, she said: "You have changed the way I see myself, the way I live my life and the way I feel about being in my own body.

"I no longer feel comfortable in my own skin, I don't wear the same clothes I used to and I find myself wanting to cover every inch of my body.

"I hate that I have been left feeling this way about myself. I hate that something you chose to do has changed the relationship I have with my own body.

"I hope that by speaking out I can show others who have experienced something similar that their voices matter and that seeking justice is worthwhile."
