An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court has convicted the Medical Director of Optical Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Olufemi Olaleye, of defiling his wife’s niece.

Justice Rahman Oshodi held that prosecution proved charges of defilement and sexual assault by penetration against Olaleye.

The judge ruled that the evidence against the medical director was compelling.

During the trial, the convict’s wife, Aderemi Olaleye, told the court that her husband had been sexually abusing her niece during her stay with them.

She also testified that the convict first introduced pornography and oral sex to the victim, and he released sperm into her mouth, stating that it started from March 2020 to July 2021.

The witness narrated to Justice Oshodi that the girl confessed to a relative and their driver that the doctor had been sleeping with her and threatened to kill her and the witness if she told anyone.

The mother of two, who is the complainant, said on oath, “My lord, on November 27, 2021, my second cousin told my aunty, who is my mother’s sister, that since March 2020, Femi has been sexually abusing her and introduced her to pornography; from there, he graduated to oral sex with her, and that he does this in different places in the home where there are no cameras.”
