A Nigerian beauty therapist who $exually assaulted a woman who he was treating, has been jailed in the U.K
Ayoyinka Oladimeji, 29, of Talia House, E14, was sentenced to three years in jail and handed a $exual Harm Prevention Order at Inner London Crown Court, today, Thursday, 11 October, 2018.
The $exual Harm Prevention order will prevent Oladimeji from performing or being present in treatment rooms while treatments are being performed.
He had been found guilty of $exual assault by penetration, following a trial at the same court on 6 September. The court heard how Oladimeji worked as a beauty therapist at a clinic in Peckham.
On 12 October 2017, a woman aged in her 20s attended the clinic for a treatment. During this treatment while she lay on the treatment table, Oladimeji $exually assaulted her. She kicked out at him and left the clinic.
Oladimeji then called her and apologised for his behaviour – the woman recorded this call and reported the matter to police.
Oladimeji was arrested on 14, October and denied the allegation; during further interview after being played the recording of his phone call to the woman, he refused to answer any questions.
Detective Sergeant Robert Jamieson of the Child Abuse and $exual Offences Command led the investigation – he said: “Oladimeji took advantage of his professional position to abuse a client when she was in a vulnerable position.
He then tried to deny the attack, even when faced with his own admission that had been recorded without his knowledge. I would like thank the victim and acknowledge her courage throughout this investigation and hope that this sentence can bring her some form of closure.”
