A Liverpool crown court has jailed a 36-year-old Nigeiran national, Oluyesi Oni for 14 years after he was found guilty of
The convict who happens to be a housing association worker, drove his silver BMW car to a city center where he met the victim who was drunk as a result of a night out with friends she had just parted ways with.
While the victim was so drunk and vulnerable, Oluyesi Oni took advantage of her state and raped her. The incident was later reported to the police and with the help of CCTV cameras the, predator was apprehended and charged for the offence.
He was subsequently found guilty after trial of two counts of rape by a 10-2 majority, despite his argument that he had a consensual sex with the victim.
The ruling was probably so fair that even the convict’s lawyer,Rebecca Smith conceded the consequences for both parties – more so the victim – were “devastating and life-changing”, according to the mirror.co.uk.
In delivering the verdict, Judge Alan Conrad, QC said to the convict that, “The effects of what you did so far as she is concerned have been extreme and life-changing.
“She became pregnant by you. She had to undergo a termination. You passed onto her a sexually transmitted infection and she has suffered severe psychological trauma.
“All that in the case of a young woman to whom the sanctity of her body and to whom she gives it is enormously important.”
He added that, “Not only was she incapable of consent, but she would never have consented to sex in those circumstances, with a man whom she did not know and whom she had just met.
“You were out in the centre of Liverpool alone in the early hours of the morning as the clubs and bars were emptying and there were people affected by drink and/or drugs on the streets.
“Your purpose was clear to me – you were looking for a suitable target.

"You found one in this victim who was acutely vulnerable.”
“You are a clever and cunning man who is forensically astute.
“You sought to lie your way out of what you had done, changing your account as new evidence became available to the police.
“The jury saw through your lies. You have shown no remorse or regret for what you have done.
“This is a particularly bad case of its type where your predatory behaviour has caused terrible damage.”
