Man who groomed 14-year-old girl has jail sentence increased
A man who groomed and repeatedly sexually abused a 14-year-old girl had his sentence increased after the Solicitor General Ellie Reeves MP intervened.
The court heard that Abiola Adenmosun, from Chatham, Kent, approached the teenager when he was 22 and despite learning she was 14 years old, began a relationship with her.
Between 2012 and 2013, Adenmosun gave the teenager drugs, alcohol and sexually abused her several times, typically in his car.
During this period, Adenmosun damaged the teenager’s phone and assaulted the victim’s sister.
In a victim impact statement, the victim said she struggles with anxiety every day and also suffers physical pain.
Solicitor General Ellie Reeves said:
This was a deeply troubling case of sustained sexual abuse by a grown man against a vulnerable child.
I welcome the Court of Appeal’s decision to increase Adenmosun’s sentence and I would like to express my deepest sympathies to his victim who has been so brave in coming forward.
On 18 July 2025 at Maidstone Crown Couty, Abiola Adenmosun was sentenced to four years and three months at Maidstone Crown Court. He also received an Indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and an Indefinite Restraining Order.
Following a referral under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, the Court of Appeal increased the sentence to six years and nine months imprisonment.
