Sydney Morning Herald newspaper<\/a> reported.<\/p>\nIt also reported that he was the former chief of the ‘Overseas Friends of the BJP’ in Australia.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar also recorded his sexual assaults using a camera hidden in his bedside alarm clock and on his phone, it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBalesh Dhankhar is one of the worst rapists in Sydney’s recent history,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar, a data expert, cried on Monday as the jury foreman replied \u201cguilty\u201d to each of the 39 charges against him.<\/p>\n
He asked to remain on bail but Judge Michael King refused before Dhankhar was handcuffed and led away by officers.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar, 43, will face court again in May and will be sentenced later in the year, the report said.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar’s wife supported him in court, often in tears.<\/p>\n
The only time Dhankhar cried was while explaining he lied to women because he was lonely after an extra-marital affair broke down. He blamed his loneliness on the \u201cunfulfilling\u201d intimacy of his marriage, the report said.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar sold his family’s assets and properties to fund his legal defence. He was assigned a rising star barrister.<\/p>\n
In 2018, police found dozens of videos of Dhankar with other women, the report added.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the women are unconscious, other times they struggle and groan as if in a nightmare.<\/p>\n
The videos were sorted into folders, each labelled with a Korean woman’s name. Then detectives found a series of bookmarks in Dhankhar’s browser.<\/p>\n
One video went for 95 minutes, a montage of unconscious women subjected to sex.<\/p>\n
The New South Wales Police officer in charge of Dhankhar’s case, Sergeant Katrina Gyde, suspected Dhankhar was living out a disturbed fantasy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe videos (bookmarked online) are very similar to the videos you took,\u201d Crown prosecutor Kate Nightingale said in this month’s trial.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d Dhankhar replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou thought it was fun… watching Korean women who were unconscious, impaired,\u201d the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just a porn video, it has nothing to do with the unconscious, impaired,\u201d Dhankhar insisted.<\/p>\n
Dhankhar recorded his sexual assaults using a camera hidden in his bedside alarm clock and on his phone.<\/p>\n
The contents of the videos are too confronting to describe in detail. The jury writhed as they watched the videos. At one stage it became too much and they asked to be sent home early, the report said.<\/p>\n
