A man has been jailed for the attempted rape of a woman who told police she thought her drink had been spiked while at a party. Damola Olateju appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today where he was sentenced to five years imprisonment.
The 37-year-old of Padgate Lane, Warrington, was found guilty of attempted rape at an earlier hearing. A jury found him not guilty of two counts of rape.
In a statement Cheshire Constabulary said: "The court heard how a woman had attended a party in Warrington in the early hours of 20 December 2020 and believed that she had been spiked. She disclosed that she believed she had also been raped as she had bruising over her body.
