A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after raping one woman and sexually assaulting another while on bail.

🇳🇬 Here's What Happened

Olukanyinsola Odebode was described as “very predatory” and as having “humiliated and degraded his victims” before denying any wrongdoing and forcing them to give evidence during his trial.

According to Wales Online on Saturday, Swansea Crown Court heard that the offences were committed between June 2024 and September 2025.

Odebode sexually assaulted and raped one woman in the Gwent Police area before he was arrested and released on bail. He subsequently sexually assaulted another woman in the Dyfed-Powys Police area.

📌 Key Details

He was convicted at trial of one count of rape and two counts of assault by penetration before returning to court for sentencing.

Mark Wyeth KC, prosecuting, told the court that Odebode posed a danger to women and that his actions had caused “life-altering consequences for his victims.”

The prosecutor said a Probation Service report highlighted Odebode’s lack of insight into his offending and his “complete rejection” of the jury’s findings.

The report concluded that he “poses a high risk of serious harm underpinned by attitudes of entitlement,” the court heard.

The prosecution also referred to victim impact statements detailing the effect of Odebode’s actions on the two women.

The court further heard that seven other women had reported concerns about Odebode’s sexual behaviour to police since 2019, although those matters did not proceed to convictions.
