A Perth father who filmed himself abusing unconscious women has been found guilty of dozens of perverted crimes, in one of Western Australia's worst-ever date rape cases. 

Adam Charles Lusk, 45, stood trial in the District Court on 100 charges relating to the drugging and sexual assault of 13 women.

A jury today convicted him of 97 counts, including the rape of 12 victims between April 2020 and January 2022.

The attacks often involved extreme and degrading sexual acts, many of which were captured in graphic videos. 

The youngest victim was aged 16, and like several others, met Lusk through a "sugar daddy" dating site.

In one recording, she was seen begging Lusk to stop and "show mercy". 

Other videos, prosecutors alleged, showed the women clearly unconscious, with no idea they had been raped until police got hold of the vile recordings.

Police say Mr Lusk worker had already met with his alleged victims several times for "consensual" sex, when he slipped ketamine into their drinks to knock them out.

Lusk denied drugging the women, insisting they were conscious and willing participants in the sexual encounters. 

He will be sentenced in December.
