An Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure has sentenced a 17-year-old boy, Jibola Fakologbon, to 14 years imprisonment for ass@ulting and r@ping a student of Ero College of Education.
Fakologbon, who committed the offence was arraigned on December 2021, on two counts bordering on ass@ult and r@pe, which contravened Sections 60, 358 of the Criminal Code of Ondo State, 2016.
While handing over the judgement on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, Justice Yemi Fasanmi, said the exhibit before the court showed that Fakologbon committed the act and found him guilty of the offence.
The Judge held that the prosecution was able to prove its case of indecent assault and rape against the convict beyond reasonable doubt and that all the evidence before the court corroborated that of the victim.
The Prosecuting Counsel, D.G. Kayode told the court that the convict on March 11, at about 5 pm at Ero via Igbara-Oke, indecently ass@ulted a lady (name withheld), who is a student of Ero College of Education, by touching her Bosom and giving her bodily harm.
He explained that the convict at the same place and time, had unlawful s£xual intercourse with the victim without her consent, saying the offence contravened Sections 60, 358 of the Criminal Code of Ondo State, 2016.
During the trial, the prosecution called three witnesses with six exhibits tendered, which included the defendant’s and victim’s extra-judicial statements, the torn underwear of the victim, and a medical report, while the convict testified as a sole witness.
While testifying, the victim explained that she was on her way to her house on the day of the incident, when the defendant accosted her and demanded money from her for food, but declined.
