Man jailed over predatory Hyde Park rape

Joseph Stephen Rosenburg followed a drunk teenager into Sydney's Hyde Park and then raped her. Now he has been sentenced to 11 years in jail.

A man who raped a drunk teenager in Sydney's Hyde Park has been sentenced to a maximum of 11 years for the "predatory" attack.

Joseph Stephen Rosenburg exhaled deeply after the sentence was handed down but said nothing.

The 52-year-old was found guilty in February of three counts of sexual intercourse without consent and three charges of indecent assault against the 18-year-old woman in August 2013.
