A truly harrowing case sees William Adesanya, 25, now behind bars for a series of devastating crimes. Earlier this week, he was sentenced at Newport Crown Court after being found guilty of multiple charges including rape and intentional strangulation.
Adesanya subjected a sex worker to a terrifying ordeal in Cardiff. After booking an appointment, he turned violent, choking her until she passed out before raping her multiple times. Shockingly, he filmed his actions to further humiliate and degrade her.
In court, the victim bravely read her statement, detailing the lasting impact on her life. She described feeling unsafe in her own home, suffering from panic attacks and anxiety, and being unable to continue her work due to the trauma inflicted. Her emotional words spoke of wanting to be free from the memory of his touch, revealing the deep scars left on her self-esteem and mental health.
The judge described Adesanya as a “very dangerous individual” showing no empathy for his actions. Sentenced to 16 years with an extended license period of six years, he’s now banned from contacting sex workers indefinitely.
This case highlights the importance of justice and supporting victims through their healing journey. Let’s stand united against such inhumanity and work towards a safer community for all.
