Former huntsmaster John Norrish took advantage of the 33 year old married mother when he offered to give her a lift home in the early hours of the morning.
Yesterday after a jury took more than eleven hours in their deliberations, they found Norrish, 68, guilty of rape by a majority of ten to two.
The trial judge, Mr Justice Field, said it was a 'grave abuse of a vulnerable woman'.
The judge said the 'effect of what you did will endure for her for years'.
There were gasps and tears in the packed public gallery from friends of Norrish who had attended the court every day for his trial.
