25-Yr-Old Nigerian Man Jailed For Raping Student In Ireland
A Nigerian man, Utseoritselaju Uwatse, 25, has been sentenced by an Irish court to four years imprisonment for raping a fellow college student in Ireland.
Detective Garda McGrath told prosecuting counsel Conor Devally that a group of college students gathered for drinks in Cratloe Student Village before going into Limerick City for a night out on the day of the incident.
CCTV footage, which was played in court, showed when Uwatse and the victim hugged each other that night.
During court proceedings, it was said that Uwatse picked the victim up, carried her into a bedroom, and laid her on the bed, where she remembered him removing her shoes before falling asleep. She woke early the following morning, and her clothes did not feel right with the convict beside her.
McGrath said one of the members of the group was the victim, who said in her evidence that the group went to Smyth’s pub and then onto Molloy’s late bar in Limerick, where she met Uwatse, whom she knew socially.
Uwatse then asked her if she “was on a pill?” She found this question unusual, and he later told her that they had sex and the condom broke. She became upset after realising that she didn’t consent to it.
