Judge Daniel Goundar convicted the 26-year-old in the High Court at Lautoka.
Three assessors had earlier this week found Nasilasila not guilty but that opinion was overturned by the judge.
Justice Goundar said he found the 24-year-old complainant to be a reliable witness and accepted her account of the attack
Nasilasila has been remanded in custody and will reappear in court next month for sentencing.
