Teenager Who Rape College Student Given 14 Years Imprisonment

A 17-year-old boy named Jibola Fakologbon has been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by the Ondo State High Court for assaulting and raping a student of Ero College of Education.

Fakologbon was charged with assault and rape in December 2021 for his actions at Ero via Igbara-Oke.

He forcefully touched the victim’s breast and engaged in sexual intercourse without her consent.

Despite pleading not guilty, Fakologbon was found guilty based on the prosecution’s evidence, which included testimonies from three witnesses and six exhibits.

The victim testified that Fakologbon approached her, demanding money for food, but she refused.

He then proceeded to assault her and forcefully have sexual intercourse with her.

The court, led by Justice Yemi Fasanmi, concluded that the prosecution had proven the charges of indecent assault and rape beyond a reasonable doubt.

Medical reports and other exhibits further supported the victim’s testimony.

Justice Fasanmi emphasized the credibility of the evidence and the victim’s resistance against the convict.

Fakologbon admitted to touching, physically assaulting, and tearing the victim’s underwear but claimed he did not rape her upon noticing her wound.

However, the medical report confirmed injuries sustained by the victim during the examination.
