Why is he not sectioned in a mental hospital?

A man has been jailed for 18 months for breaking a ban on approaching young men and touching their muscles.

Akinwale Arobieke, 47, formerly of Toxteth, Liverpool, and known as "Purple Aki", was given a Sexual Offences Prevention Order last year.

But two months later he approached a 17-year-old boy and tried to touch his biceps, Liverpool Crown Court was told.

The order was imposed on Arobieke after he was jailed for six years in 2003 for 16 counts of harassment.

His reputation has spread across north-west England where he is known by the nickname "Purple Aki" and is considered by many to be an urban myth, the jury was told.

Bench presses

His latest victim, now aged 18, said he was left feeling "frightened and sick" after Arobieke followed him in Birkenhead in June last year.

He asked the boy how many bench presses he could do.

The boy told the court: "He pointed to my arms and asked if he could see.

"He then lifted his hand towards my biceps and I realised who it was. I backed away and told him I had to go.

"I felt sick and walked away as fast as I could. I went to a friend's house and looked back but he had gone."

Bodybuilder Arobieke had pleaded not guilty.

It was his second breach of the order and his 72nd offence since 1980, the judge was told.

what a scary face.


shouldnt he be seen by a mental health specialist btw.

The man is NOT sectionable under the British Mental Health Act of 1985, the act that empowers Psychiatrists and the Law to deprive mentally ill people of their liberty in the UK. The Mental Health Act tries to balance between the safety of the public and the human rights entitlements of the individual by doing a comprehensive assessment of the immediate risks the individual poses to the public and his needs as well.  It's because of this Act that a lot of people who have been diagnosed with mental illness live in the community, irrespective of what their neighbours think!

This man most likely has a learning disability, but even that is not enough to lock him up.  Being an 'olodo' who likes to touch peoples muscles, shouldn't be enough to get oneself locked up for good, should it?

let him enter in mr universe contest - him go dey get multiple orgasm

This is his 72nd crime its clear hes not ok. I guess he needs to rape someone before someone does something.

Purple Aki. See how they are maliciously defaming an innocent Nigerian? Just because someone is obsessed about body building, they call him a perv.

You dey mind them. What did this guy commit to deserve this kind of punishment?. This is pure racism.

It is a rather scary situtaion isn't it, to have somebody who l[i]ooks[/i] like him, going about trying to feel peoples muscles! I am most certain that by now he would have already had an assessment of the risks he poses to the public done by a Forensic Psychiatrist, which may include his potential risks of sexual offending-if the latter is deemed clinically appropriate. The fact that he is obsessed with squeezing muscles, don't necessarily mean he is a sex offender.

Like i wrote earlier, his presentation is more suggestive of a man with learning disabilities. I don't know how old he is, but he probably has the mental age of someone aged between 8-12, the age when boys tend to be most preoccupied with the size of each others muscles and like feeling each others biceps to test how strong they are.

Mr Arobieke is most likely to end up getting charged with assault or something along those lines, but because he is already infamous for groping peoples muscles, it is not likely that a lot will come out of it. He certainly won't get locked up for it though. That would be against his human rights to lock him up in a Psychiatric hospital, even if he does offend again and get charged for assault. To start with modern Psychiatry doesn't operate the kind of Asylum's that once gave it a bad name. In the UK that ended 40-50 years ago!

He is most likely to end up under the judicial system again and again, unless he commits a serious crime. If he commits a serious crime, like rape, then he could be sent to a Forensic unit for a period of assessment with a view to getting him treated, but even that wouldn't be for ever, since Learning disabilities are managed, usually in the community, with loads of social packages in place.

And by the way, people with learning disability ihave been found to have a higher rate of being charged with sexual offences. This is probably because they are not smart enough in negotiating their way into getting laid smoothly!

Hes 47 and hes like 6 foot 5. Do we need to wait for him to rape someone or seriously hurt them before locking the madman away? I just think his previous victims were lucky to be young able bodied men who could run away. He needs some form of permenant care God knows what family he has.

Akinwale Arobieke (born July 1961),[1] known locally in North West England as Purple Aki, is a convicted Nigerian criminal from Liverpool, United Kingdom.
He was widely believed to be an urban legend until his imprisonment in 2001. He was well known as a "bogeyman" in the area, with stories of his activity reaching as far as Wigan, Greater Manchester, Rhyl and Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Arobieke has a highly distinctive and intimidating appearance: he is a 6 ft 5 in (200 cm) tall bodybuilder who weighs 20 stone (130 kg).[2][3] His activities are sexually motivated, a fact which was recognised in 2006 by Liverpool Magistrates' Court, when Merseyside Police successfully applied to them for a Sexual Offences Prevention Order.

In the late 1980s a young man named Gary Kelly was electrocuted at New Brighton railway station, allegedly whilst running away from Arobieke. Arobieke was convicted of his manslaughter, but successfully appealed the conviction on the grounds that he had not acted unlawfully by 'standing on the platform and looking into trains'.[5]

He appeared in court on 22 November 2001, pleading not guilty to fifty counts of indecent assault and harassment against fourteen teenage boys between February 1995 and September 2000. He was convicted of threatening behaviour and was jailed for thirty months.[6]

Released in 2003, Arobieke resumed his activities and was quickly arrested and charged with fifteen counts of harassment. During the course of the trial 123 people were interviewed by police, including one family who were forced into the Witness Protection Programme as a result of threats from Arobieke. This led to Arobieke being additionally charged with witness intimidation. On 15 December 2003 he was jailed for six years by Preston Crown Court, pleading guilty to the charges. When sentencing Arobieke, Judge Slinger said: "You are a danger to young men and your behaviour is both strange and obsessive".

So Mr Arobieke is 47 going on 10, maybe 11, then. He still belongs to the criminal justice system and not mental health.

His 'strange' behaviour is most likely motivated by his subnormal intelligence, and not by a 'mental illness' per se. His intentions might not even be malicious!

The statement by the judge that he is a 'danger to young men and (your) behaviour is both strange and obsessive", was his attempt to pan him off to Psychiatrists. But i am most certain that Psychiatrists have reviewed him and found him not to be suffering from 'a severe and enduring mental illness of a degree and nature', that would warrant hospital admission. And as a result of which he would have been passed back to the criminal justice system to dispose of as they deem fit within the law.

I'm guessing that the criminal justice system would have already tried but still not found enough grounds to lock him up for good, since most of his offences would have time-limited custodial sentences. So he will be with us until someone else on the streets decides that enough is enough and takes the law into their own hands.

That's the way it works here unfortunately.

yoruba man.

Jeez this guy would freak the hell out of anyone.
