A bogus cab driver who pretended to be a taxi driver and raped a woman in Godstone was convicted at the Old Bailey today.
Paul Michael Causer, 39, from Deptford drove the 31-year-old woman from London to a country lane in Godstone last summer where he sexually assaulted her after she had no means of payment.
He then left her there in the early hours of the morning of August 3 and drove off.
Causer was found guilty of rape, following a six day trial at The Old Bailey.
He had previously pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted theft in trying to withdraw money using her bank card.
Detective Sergeant Adele Robertson of the Sexual Offences Investigation Team said: "Causer is a dangerous man who specifically targeted the victim, in this case preying on her vulnerability in the early hours of the morning after she had left a nightclub. It was a deeply distressing incident for her."
Causer will be sentenced at The Old Bailey on 10 July.
