A man from Swansea has been jailed after he was found guilty of the rape of an underage girl.
48-year-old Lukman Oyofo, from the city centre, pleaded not guilty to the offence, with the incident having taken place at his flat on December 6 2024. However, he did admit under interview that he had had sexual intercourse with the victim, insisting that this was consensual.
Oyofo was also found guilty of assaulting a female aged 13 and over by penetration. He pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault on a female for offences which took place on November 24 and November 30 2024.
He has been sentenced to ten years in prison.
Detective Constable Rabaiotti said:
“Lukman Oyofo was under no illusion that the acts he carried out upon a child were illegal, yet he did so anyway.
“The victim was unable to give her consent due to being underage. Oyofo exploited a power imbalance and thrived off it, doing so on multiple occasions.
“We commend the bravery of the victim who, by sharing what Oyofo would done, helped to secure this conviction and sentence.”
