Nightclub promoters have apologised after a photo of a young woman sprawled out on a tiled-floor was used to advertise their Easter weekend event - just a week after the owner’s son was convicted of raping a teenage girl at the venue. A photo of a 'drunken' young woman, lying with her legs apart on the ground, was posted on SOHO nightclub’s Facebook page on April 3  - a week after Luke Lazarus was sentenced for raping an 18-year-old at the club. The 23-year-old privileged son of Andrew Lazarus, the owner of the venue in Sydney’s Kings Cross, was jailed for at least three years for the crime on March 27. The photo’s caption said: ‘We’re throwing an extra special Yeezter event Tonight. Free entry till 10pm and $5 drinks till midnight – get amongst it!’ Scroll down for video . Luke Lazarus was sentenced on March 27 for raping an 18-year-old at his father's SOHO nightclub on May 12, 2013 . A photo of a drunken looking young woman, lying with her legs apart on the ground, was posted on SOHO nightclub’s Facebook page on April 3 by an 'external promoter' The disturbing image was soon removed by the club's management after a backlash on Twitter, the Daily Life reports, with one shocked social media user complaining: ‘This is how Luke Lazarus (sic) father promotes nightclub SOHO. Posted week after sentencing!’. A Twitter user told Daily Mail Australia : ‘Once it did Twitter rounds and people started commenting it was removed by Saturday.’ A SOHO management spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: ‘The event on the night was set up by an external promoter as a one-off event. 'He was given access to the official Facebook page but as soon as we noticed he’d put that up it was taken down.' The club agreed that the photo used was ‘100 per cent inappropriate’. During Luke Lazarus’s rape trial, the jury was told that the former private schoolboy boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at his father's club, the SOHO, before he ushered her into an alleyway. During Luke Lazarus’s rape trial, the jury were told he boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at the SOHO, before he ushered her into an alleyway . Luke Lazarus will spend a minimum of three years behind bars. He told the court that attending his father's clubs gave him an 'inflated sense of power and entitlement' The woman attempted to go back inside in the early hours of May 12, 2013, but Lazarus forcefully told her to get down on the ground on all fours. In sentencing him, Judge Sarah Huggett found the offence was not premeditated but said he was reckless. 'I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt he must have realised there was a possibility she wasn't consenting,' she told Sydney's District Court. But she said he was 'not caring in one way or another whether she was consenting'. On the night the teen was assaulted, the court heard it was the first time she had gone to Sydney's Kings Cross. The SOHO nightclub is a popular venue in Sydney's Kings Cross district . After entering the club Soho, Lazarus walked up to her, told her he was a part owner in the venue and showed her a business card. He then asked if she would like to enter a VIP area before taking her into an alleyway out back. They kissed but when she said she wanted to go back to her friends he said: 'No, stay'. He pulled her stockings down, ignored a second request by her to leave and said in an authoritative tone 'put your f***ing hands on the wall, get on the floor and arch your back'. Scared, she complied. During the ten minute assault that followed, the teen told him she was a virgin. The disturbing image was soon removed by the club's management after a backlash on Twitter . The photo which caused offence on April 3 is in-line with similar photos posted the club's Facebook page . When it was over Lazarus told her to add her name to a list of conquests in his phone that he had. He later texted a friend 'sick night, took a chick's virginity LOL so tight'. Judge Huggett said: 'It was her right to kiss the accused and it was her right to say she wanted to return to her friend. The offender ignored that.' The girl informed police the next morning who seized CCTV footage from the venue which confirmed Lazarus led the woman into the alleyway. Judge Huggett said Lazarus came from a privileged upbringing and had an inflated sense of entitlement and power when he was at the Soho. But she found he had good prospects of rehabilitation, was unlikely to reoffend and was suffering from an adjustment disorder due to a break-up in the weeks prior to the offence. She sentenced him to a maximum of five years in jail. He will be eligible for release in March 2018. Judge Huggett said Lazarus, a South Sydney Rabbitohs fan, came from a privileged upbringing . Lazarus told the court that attending his father's clubs gave him an 'inflated sense of power and entitlement.' He also added that it made him physically ill to think that the incident was not consensual. The 23-year-old was allegedly seeing an American woman but ended the relationship due to his parent's disapproval of her not being Greek. Psychiatrist Dr. Christopher Rikard-Bell, said Lazarus was suffering emotional symptoms as a result of the break up. After Lazarus's sentencing a series of prominent public figures in the local community spoke out in his defence with character references. Waverley mayor Sally Betts, the honorary secretary of the Honorary Consulate-General of Greece in Brisbane, Tsambico K Athanasas, South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league club chairman Nick Pappas and the parish priest at the Greek Orthodox Christian Church of St George, Rose Bay, Father Gerasimos Koutsouras, spoke out to support him. Australia's first Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Pru Goward slammed his supporters, saying: 'Not only does this diminish their standing, it can shatter the confidence of the victim and often discourages them from seeking justice.'
