Party guest's gut instinct helped convict dad who tried to rape woman on camera

A concerned party guest who contacted a woman after a party helped her to bring the man who tried to rape her to justice.

Damola Olateju, 37, had targeted the woman when she and her friends went back to a flat after a night out in Warrington town centre, in December 2020. The carer filmed himself trying to have sex with the heavily drunk victim as she pleaded "no" and "get off me".

Olateju may have gotten away with the shocking attack had detectives not extracted the damning video from his mobile phone. Liverpool Crown Court heard the next day the woman found bruises and feared she had been raped, but was worried about coming forward because her memory was hazy.
