A Nigerian postgraduate student branded “dangerous sexual predator” who raped a stranded teenage bus passenger in West Yorkshire and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Chiemka Okoronta, 29 and the 17-year-old girl were on board a night service train that unexpectedly terminated in Morley, Leeds, with both requiring transport home to Bradford on 25 March.

Okoronta tricked her into sharing a taxi before luring her into his accommodation and attacking her in a locked toilet, Bradford Crown Court heard. He was told he was likely to be deported following his sentence.

Okoronta must also serve three years on extended licence and register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Following the attack, the girl stopped a passer-by outside and use their phone to call police.

In a victim impact statement read out in court, the girl said: “This incident has turned my life upside down.”I have flashbacks of what happened to me, I have nightmares – one minute I feel fine and the next minute it all comes back.”
