Teacher Bags 4-Year Prison Term in Edo State for Sexual Molestation of 13-Year-Old Pupil

Rotimi Olayemi, a 47-year-old teacher at the King of Kings College in Benin, Edo state, was on Wednesday sentenced to 4 years imprisonment by an Egor Magistrates’ Court for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old pupil.


Olayemi, said to be an English teacher at the college, had been arraigned on four counts bothering on sexual assault.
The prosecutor, Mrs Osasu Ewemade, had told the court that the convict, Olayemi, committed the crime on May 26, 2014, in his office in the college.

Olayemi was said to have invited the victim, a 13-year-old pupil of the school, to his office where he hugged, kissed and fondled her. He also allegedly put his hand in her private parts.

The prosecutor stated that the offence contravened Section 360 of the Criminal Code, Cap 48, Vol II, Law of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria, 1976, as applicable in Edo.
The convict pleaded not guilty to the charges but at the conclusion of trial, the presiding magistrate, Mrs Igho Braimoh, found him guilty on all counts and sentenced him to one year in prison for each count.

The magistrate added that the prison terms would run concurrently. She however, gave an option of fine of N50,000 for each of the counts.
Olayemi’s conviction and imprisonment for the sexual assault of his pupil comes at a time the nation is seized by reports of allegations of sexual harassment against a teacher at Queens College in Lagos.

The school management had initially exonerated the teacher, Mr Seni Oshifala, forcing a public outcry that has now attracted the attention of the federal ministry of education and the police who are now said to be investigating the allegations.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
