Man who brutally beat and raped woman in his Dagenham flat before she jumped out of window to escape has been jailed

• Oladip Oshodi attacked a victim who fled his home in Mayesbrook, east London

A man was sentenced to prison for beating and raping a woman who jumped out of a window to escape his apartment.

Oladip Oshodi was sentenced to 25 years in prison after beating and twice raping his victim at his home in Dagenham, east London, in July 2023.

The unnamed woman eventually escaped through a window before being found collapsed on the street by locals.

She was taken to hospital for further treatment and received support from specialist staff.

Oshodi, 48, was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday after being found guilty of two counts of rape, administering a harmful substance, threatening to kill, causing grievous bodily harm and controlling and exerting coercive behaviour.

He was found to have made several unwanted advances towards his victim at his home in Mayesbrook.

After raping the woman twice and then beating her, she jumped out of a ground floor window onto the street.

Officers became aware of the incident when passersby saw the woman collapsed in the middle of the street and helped her to safety.

Oshodi is said to have shown “no remorse” throughout the trial for his actions on the evening of July 11 last year.

The rapist was arrested by police the next day and remained in custody throughout the trial. On May 10, he was found guilty on all charges.

Detective Constable Serena McGhee said: “Oshodi is a dangerous man and it is right that he now serves a long prison sentence in a place where he will not pose a danger to women. I commend the bravery of the victim and witnesses in this case.

“Oshodi has shown no remorse throughout the investigation and trial and I am glad that he must face the consequences of his actions.”

PC Kayleigh Grafton, a specialist sexual assault officer, said: “The survivor in this case ran for her life and jumped into the road to escape the man.”

“I hope the verdict encourages other women who have been victims of sexual assault to come forward. We are here to support you and our mission is to protect you and support you on your journey.”
