Medway Man jailed for sex offences against child
An offender who targeted a child whilst she was walking along a road in Medway has been jailed. Abiola Adenmosun was driving through Rochester in 2012 and stopped his car alongside a girl he did not know. He befriended her and arranged to see her locally the next day.
The victim went to the meeting where Adenmosun gave her alcohol and a cigarette containing cannabis. The girl had not tried the drug before and became disorientated. He went on to sexually assault her in his car. Over several months Adenmosun continued to meet the child and committed further sexual offences. During this period, he also damaged the victim’s phone and assaulted one of her relatives.
The victim tried to end any contact with Adenmosun, but he persisted to text and phone her. This led her to report his offending to the police in 2017. Adenmosun, of King George Road, Chatham was interviewed and later charged with six counts of sexual activity with a child.
He pleaded not guilty at Maidstone Crown Court and was convicted of all the indictments on 28 February 2025. On Friday 18 July, the 35-year-old was sentenced to four years and three months’ imprisonment. He was given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be required to sign the Sex Offenders Register. He will also be subject to a restraining order for life.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Kayleigh Archer, said: ‘This man sought out a vulnerable girl who was walking by herself, gained her trust and then went on to commit multiple sexual offences.
‘The victim had immense courage in initially reporting her ordeal. She then had the resilience to support our investigation over a long period of time and then give evidence at court. This has ensured this appalling man is now in prison and he cannot pose a risk to other young victims.’
