Nigerian rapper, Goldie 1 will spend more than 10 years in prison for repeatedly raping a woman he met in an Essex nightclub in the UK. Goldie was said to make advances to the woman at a venue in Southend in February 2017.
The UK based Nigerian born rapper was found guilty at Basildon Crown Court of three counts of rape and one of sexual assault and was jailed on Tuesday for 10 years and two months.
The 34-year-old said he would get her home safely but instead drove her to a car park where he overpowered her and ignored her requests for him to stop.
Olawale Hassan was found guilty at Basildon Crown Court of three counts of rape and one of sexual assault according to the Crown Prosecution Service.
According to Helen Walsh, the senior Crown prosecutor in the rape and serious sexual offenses unit for CPS East of England stated, “We were able to present the case that Olawale was a controlling sexual predator who showed a complete disregard for the victim’s lack of consent.
‘’He exploited his opportunity to sexually assault the woman before proceeding to rape her multiple times while she drifted in and out of consciousness in his car.
‘’Consent can be withdrawn at any time and at the discretion of the individuals involved. Just because you consent to dancing does not mean you consent to sex’’.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Victoria Death, of Essex Police, said he would like to thank the victim for her courage in reporting this incident.
‘When I first met her, she blamed herself for getting in Hassan’s car but has now recognized just how dangerous this man is and that none of this is her fault.’
