Ishola Adeyomi Adeoye, A Nigerian man, 26, who raped a 14-year old girl, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison, following a week-long trial at the Old Bailey.

Ishola Adeoye took the victim to his house in Woolwich, south east London, having met her on the street in nearby Plumstead. He raped the schoolgirl after giving her alcohol, which caused her to pass out.

Police say the victim awoke in the morning and was not aware of what had happened to her, but began to suspect something when she began to feel pain.

A report was made to the police and the girl underwent a forensic examination.

Officers launched an investigation and the DNA profile taken was matched to Adeoye.

Detective Constable, Pete Thompson, said: "This was an horrendous act committed against a vulnerable 14 year old girl. Adeoye tried to deny the offence and when the evidence against him was so strong he ended up changing his account".

He continued: "The victim showed a tremendous amount of courage and bravery to give evidence against the defendant. I hope that this result can go some way in helping both her and her family come to terms with what has happened".

Ishola Adeoye had denied rape, but was convicted following a week-long trial at the Old Bailey. He was sentenced on March 2.
