AN Adelaide doctor has been jailed for raping an exotic dancer who refused him sex after he lavished her with gifts and paid for her breast enlargements.

Minh Tuan Pham, 33, of Ferryden Park, became sexually obsessed with the 20-year-old woman who worked at an Adelaide nightspot, wooing her in 2008 in the hope that she would fall in love with him.

But she refused sex, despite being offered as much as $20,000, District Court Judge Mark Griffin said today, as he sentenced Pham to nine years in jail for raping his victim and causing aggravated harm.

"It was deliberate, purposive and calculated," the judge said.

"Violent crimes against women are particularly abhorrent to all right-thinking members of the community."

Pham wined and dined the woman, paid for her breast augmentation, and gave her extravagant gifts including a car.
