A man with links to Fiji who raped two women he met on Tinder has been sentenced to jail.

News.com.au reports 33-year-old Ratu Bose was sentenced by the Victoria County Court this afternoon to a total of 12 years and six months for raping two women he met on the dating app between April 2016 and January 2017.

Bose had been on bail for the rape of the first woman at the time he raped his second victim and falsely boasted to the women he was a sniper and ex‑French militia.

Bose was found guilty by a jury in March of three counts of rape and one count of assault.

News.com.au reports that Bose told a psychologist and lawyer he had worked as a sous chef at a five‑star Swiss hotel, his father was a senior employee of the Fijian government and his mother worked for the United Nations.

Bose had previously served two months in jail for threatening to kill a woman.

He has already served 859 days of his sentence and has to serve at least nine years before being eligible for parole.
