Nigerian Man Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail For Raping Girl, 12, Multiple Times In The U.K
Nigerian Man Sentenced To 10 Years In Jail For Raping Girl, 12, Multiple Times In The U.K
A
50-year-old Nigerian man who admitted to raping a 12-year-old girl he met
online has been sentenced in the UK.
Simon
Owoade was sentenced to nine years and 10 months in prison today at Harrow
Crown Court after pleading guilty.
In
June and July 2017, Owoade made contact with the victim via a social media
messaging site. He befriended her and eventually persuaded her to meet him in
London and Potters Bar on a number of occasions. He took her to car parks and
hotels, where he sexually assaulted her.
In
July 2017, the victim stopped communicating with Owoade, but in April last year
he texted her, asking to meet up because he missed her.
They
met up numerous times until May 18, when the matter was reported to police by
the victim's parents, Hillingdon Times reports.
Owoade,
who was charged with assault of a child under 13 years by penetration;
sexual assault of a child under 13 years and three counts of making indecent
photographs of a child, has also been placed on the sexual offenders
register for life.
Det
Chief Insp Neil John said:
This
was predatory offending, committed against a young, vulnerable victim. I would
like to praise the victim for her courage in speaking to officers and providing
vital evidence to prosecute Owoade.
We
are aware Owoade had links with some charities as a volunteer.
It
is very possible he has committed offences against others and I would appeal to
anyone with information or concerns to contact police (020 7161 9798) or
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
