THE family of an 18-year-old student convicted of sex attacks on two women have said they cannot believe the "very nice boy" could become a teenage rapist. Omobolanle Akinloye, 18, was given a nine-year sentence at Guildford Crown Court and told he would be deported back to his native Nigeria when he is released. Akinloye was studying business at West London College when he raped a 32-year-old woman in her home in Staines on May 29 last year.
Two months earlier he had groped a 31-year-old woman on a bridge in Kingston Road in the town.
He was convicted of two counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault in December and then sentenced last week.
But speaking from her daughter’s home in Balham, south London, Akinloye’s aunt Ronkea Shittu, 52, said: "He is a very nice boy, he was very quiet and he never got into trouble.
"He is from a very good family, his father is a banker in Nigeria and his mother is a teacher.
"They sent him over here to get an education because people with English qualifications get the best jobs. He is brilliant, very clever, he wanted to be an accountant."
Akinloye was living with his twin cousins in Morten Close, Balham, when both attacks happened.
On the night of May 29 last year, Akinloye was going back home with his cousin when he started talking to a drunk woman at Staines railway station.
He had spotted her iPhone on the floor and handed it back to her.
During his eight-day trial at Guildford Crown Court, the jury heard how Akinloye went back to the woman’s house and raped her twice, once downstairs in the living room and once upstairs in a bedroom.
Akinloye is serving his sentence in a young offenders institution.
