A 30-year-old man, Olukanyinsola Odebode, has been sentenced to 12 years for raping one woman and sexually assaulting another while on bail in the United Kingdom.
Odebode, of Gainsborough Road, Cefn Golau, Tredegar, had previously been found guilty at trial of one count of rape and two counts of assault by penetration before he returned to Swansea Crown Court for sentencing.
PUNCH Metro learnt this from a news report published by Wales Online on Monday.
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, after which he sexually assaulted another woman in the Dyfed-Powys Police area.
According to Wales Online, prosecuting counsel, Mark Wyeth KC, told the court that Odebode “humiliated and degraded his victims” and posed a danger to women.
