A man who offered to give a woman a lift home before raping her in a hotel room has been jailed.

Seyi Odeyemi offered to drive the victim from Camden, London, to her home for half the price of a taxi, but instead took her to a hotel near Northfleet, Kent.

The woman appeared semi-conscious before Odeyemi dragged her to a room and raped her, police said.

At Maidstone Crown Court on Thursday, the 23-year-old was sentenced to 10 years and six months' imprisonment.

After the incident on 3 September 2023, the woman awoke confused next to a man she did not recognise, police said.

She reported it to the police, having disclosed her ordeal to a friend, and Odeyemi was arrested on 7 September.

It was established Odeyemi was the subject of a Sexual Risk Order at the time of the incident and had breached its conditions.

Odeyemi, of Willesborough, near Ashford, was charged with rape and breaching the order.

He pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of both counts.

He will also be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 20 years, will have to sign the sex offenders' register indefinitely and will be required to complete an additional five years on licence upon his release.

Det Con James Lake said Odeyemi was a "sexual predator" who put the victim through an "appalling ordeal".

"He undoubtedly belongs in jail," Mr Lake said.

Whenever I hear a rape case involving a black man (especially African) and a white woman in the UK I get suspicious.

UK'S definition of rape is racist. I rarely see a case involving a white man and a white woman or a black man and a black woman making it to the news and making me ask questions:
Is it only white women that get raped or molested in the UK?
Don't white men rape white women or even black women?
Is it that black women enjoy rape so they don't report it?
So many questions on my mind...

Before you fully jump into conclusion whenever you hear "rape cases" in the western world, you should always realize that our perception of rape is quite different from that of the western world.
A girl might have consensual sex with a man and wake up the next morning and say the man raped her and he'll be arrested for it.
The woman might even claim not to have been in her senses when she agreed to it or might even say she was drunk or intoxicated during the encounter and the court will still charge the man for rape.
There's also the case of "statuary rape".
In this particular case there's a high chance that the guy is probably innocent.
The girl might have been drunk or high and might have started flirting with the taxi driver and this must have made the guy believe that he was gonna get lucky and probably made him book the hotel room only for the girl to wake up the next day and come to her senses and accused him of rape.
My reason for saying this is that no man that wants to rape a woman (either intoxicated or not) will take her to a hotel, when it's quite easier to park the car at a quiet area and do it in the car and drop her somewhere when he's done.

MASTAkiLLAh:
focus on the story. Imagine your younger sister was coming home after some drinks or whatever, she's obviously intoxicated but sees a cab guy willing to take half the fare of a normal taxi only to wake up naked in a hotel room with a man by her side who obviously had sex with her. This is all evident from the story and after investigations so I want to know what your opinion would be then

Sleeping with a woman who is drunk is a crime oversease because it is implied that the woman cannot give consent while drunk.

That's why over there a lot of women are advised to drink responsibly
