This is the first photo of a man who subjected a “vulnerable” woman to a terrifying rape in a park.
Ozbeg Teymuroglu, 23, tricked his victim into following him to East Park, under the guise he had seen someone she knew walk that way.
He tried to kiss her, despite her protests, before raping her, Southampton Crown Court was told.
The victim managed to flee the scene but has since said her life has been “stolen from me” and she is unable to leave the house alone.
Teymuroglu, of no fixed abode, denied rape, but a jury reached its guilty verdict on Thursday after a four-day trial.
The jury heard how the defendant was captured on venue CCTV approaching the victim in a club in the early hours of June 6.
The pair danced for only a few minutes before he suggested they leave the venue together, with the victim refusing.
Later, Teymuroglu was seen on CCTV to take the hand of the victim, before leading her outside.
The woman questioned why they were walking towards the park and began pulling away from him, but he “pulled her into the bushes” and raped her, prosecutor Christopher Wing said.
The court heard how Teymuroglu was identified through CCTV and copies of his ID he used to enter the venue.
He was located two days later in Milton Keynes before being arrested, and subsequently charged with rape.
Recorder Barry McElduff handed him a prison sentence of six years and three months.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.
Recorder McElduff said Teymuroglu "exploited" his victim to lead her to the park.
Speaking after the sentencing, Southampton Chief Inspector Mark Lumley said: “This is an extremely concerning crime committed against a clearly vulnerable woman while out in the local night-time economy.
“No one should ever have to face the ordeal that the victim did at the hands of Teymuroglu.
“There are simply never any excuses for the actions that Teymuroglu took – he will have been acutely aware of the wrongdoing that he was committing at that moment.”
He added that the force works closely with partners across the city, including Southampton City Council, licensed premises including bars and clubs, security staff, street pastors and Southampton Central Ambulance Service to help protect women and girls.
