Court Sentence man to 14 years in jail for sexually assaulting 16-year-old girl in Lagos
An Ikeja sexual offences and domestic violence court has sentenced Peter Ezeh to 14 years in prison for sexually assaulting his girlfriend’s 16-year-old sister.
Rahman Oshodi, the presiding judge, delivered the judgment on Monday after Ezeh pleaded guilty to an amended charge of attempted assault by penetration, contrary to section 262 of the criminal laws of Lagos state, 2015.
Ezeh was initially arraigned on June 2, 2022, on a charge of defilement, to which he pleaded not guilty.
During the trial, Bukola Okeowo, the state counsel, called three witnesses—the survivor, her sister, and an investigative police officer—who provided evidence against him.
The survivor told the court that Ezeh had unlawful sexual intercourse with her twice when she accompanied her elder sister to his house.
However, on February 26, Okeowo informed the court that Ezeh, with the consent of his lawyer, had opted for a plea bargain.
