Osacpolor Jimoh had travelled from Scotland to meet a 13-year-old girl in UK at the train station. Media report says Mr Jimoh also booked an hotel following a five and half months of communication with the minor and planned to lure her into his bed.
Jimoh in May, 2022 added the minor on social media giant, Facebook as a friend and lied to her about his age which he put at 19, while the minor claimed she was 13.
According to investigations, Jimoh asked the girl who he thought was a minor whether she had a boyfriend. While chating on Facebook, he told her she was “beautiful” and wanted a “secret relationship” before they started communicating on WhatsApp.
He immediately asked her about her sexual experience and then sent her pornographic videos of himself.
He asked the minor to call him daddy and requested for explicts pictures of the girl telling her to “keep her man happy.”
He reportedly became “aggressive” with her when she refused to send nude photos of herself to the him.
He claimed that they had a“father-daughter” relationship upon his arrest at the train station by the police.
Upon further interrogations, he pleaded guilty to five count charges, including attempting to groom a minor, attempting to incite a minor to engage in sexual activity and watch pornographic content.
The defence cousel, Robin Frieze told the court that his client had committed a “serious offence” and he was “sorry.”
“This is the first time he has ever been in prison and he has found being in there very stressful,” the lawyer said.
