Description
Two men have today, Thursday 6 February, been jailed for raping a woman in Liverpool city centre.
The charges relate to an incident in the early hours of 20 April 2024 in which a woman was raped inside a property.
The woman reported the matter and within a matter of hours officers were able to identify the offence location and arrest both men.
Whilst on bail, the mobile phones of the suspects were downloaded and intimate videos of the woman were found on the devices of both men, which appear to have been made without her knowledge.
Both men denied the allegations but following a trial in January, Shuaib Iboko-Akoh, 24, formerly of Harrington Street, Liverpool and Evaristus Ozumizi Akerele, 25, from Luton, were both found guilty of rape and voyeurism.
Today at Liverpool Crown Court they were both jailed for a total of seven years. They were also both ordered to sign the sex offender’s register for life.
