A man blamed his embarrassment in asking family and friends for financial support after he lured a sex worker into a unit to rob at knifepoint before raping her.
Calwell's Craig Emberton, 34, appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday when he pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse without consent, aggravated robbery using force and armed with knife, and destroying evidence with the intention to influence a decision about starting a legal proceeding.
The statement of facts tendered reads that he booked an appointment with the sex worker at a Canberra unit on March 25.
