Dagenham pervert beat and raped woman and forced her to jump out of window to escape

This is the face of a vicious and dangerous sex offender who was jailed for abusing and raping a woman. Oladip Oshodi, 48, from Dagenham, made sexual advances to a woman he knew at his home in the Mayesbrook area of ​​Dagenham.

Despite the victim’s clear refusal to have sex with Oshodi, he raped her twice on the evening of July 11 last year. He also abused her, after which she fled by jumping out of a ground floor window into the street and collapsed in the middle of the street.

Concerned citizens called the police and brought her off the street to safety. The survivor was taken to a hospital for treatment and cared for by specialized police officers.

Oshodi was arrested on July 12 and remanded in custody throughout the trial. He was charged with several offences and on May 10 he was convicted of two counts of rape, administering a poisonous substance, threatening to kill, aggravated assault and controlling coercive behaviour. On July 5 he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

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 officer for victims of sexual offences, said: “The survivor in this case was running for her life when she jumped into the road to escape this man. I hope the verdict encourages other women who have been victims of sexual offences to come forward. We are here to support you and our mission is to keep you safe and support you every step of the way.”
