Anthony Adewale Sobogun, a 61-year-old UK-based Nigerian residing in Croydon, has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for a series of horrific sexual offences against two children. 


The London Metropolitan Police confirmed the sentencing at the Inner London Crown Court on Wednesday following a thorough, victim-led investigation.

Sobogun was found guilty of 17 non-recent sexual abuse offences that took place over a 15-year period in the 1990s and early 2000s. 


The court heard distressing details of the abuse, including instances where one victim fell pregnant and was taken to an abortion clinic by Sobogun.


Detective Constable Charlotte Lockyer praised the victims for their immense courage in coming forward to testify against their abuser. 


In a joint statement, the survivors noted that while the case was deeply distressing, it highlights the prevalence of abuse often hidden by fear and cultural stigma.


“Today’s result shows that no matter when the abuse occurred, justice can still be secured,” the Metropolitan Police stated.
