A Nigerian rapper has been jailed for more than 10 years for
repeatedly raping a woman in the UK.
Olawale Hassan, known as Goldie 1, made advances to the
woman after they met in an Essex nightclub in Southend back February 2017.
According to Mailonline, the 34-year-old said he would get
her home safely but instead drove her to a car park where he overpowered and
raped her.
Hassan was found guilty at Basildon Crown Court of three
counts of rape and one of sexual assault, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
said.
The defendant, of Grays in Essex, was jailed on Tuesday
October 6, for 10 years and two months, the CPS said.
Helen Walsh, senior Crown prosecutor in the rape and serious
sexual offences unit for CPS East of England, said: 'We were able to present
the case that Olawale was a controlling sexual predator who showed a complete
disregard for the victim's lack of consent.
'He exploited his opportunity to sexually assault the woman
before proceeding to rape her multiple times while she drifted in and out of
consciousness in his car.
'Consent can be withdrawn at any time and at the discretion
of the individuals involved.
'Just because you consent to dancing does not mean you
consent to sex.
'The law is clear, sex without consent is rape and this case
shows that where there is sufficient evidence we will not shy away from
prosecuting the perpetrators of such heinous crimes.'
Investigating officer Detective Constable Victoria De'ath,
of Essex Police, said: 'I would like to thank the victim for her courage in
reporting this incident.
'When I first met her, she blamed herself for getting in
Hassan's car but has now recognised just how dangerous this man is and that
none of this is her fault.'
