Rape "training" attack leads to a year of probation

A former security guard who lured a young co-worker to a hotel room and sexually assaulted her under the guise of "rape training" has been sentenced to one year house arrest.

Robert Mayer choked back tears in court this morning as he apologized for the bizarre 2006 attack.

"I know what I did was wrong," said Mayer, 39. "I can't express the guilt I have about what happened."

Court heard Mayer was a security guard at Great West Life when he befriended the then 20-year-old victim, a co-worker's girlfriend. Mayer gave the woman a job helping with security at the Galaxy roller rink and then told her she would have to complete mandatory rape training if she wanted to keep it.

"She was absolutely humiliated by this incident and she still suffers to this day," said Crown attorney Melinda Murray.
