Man jailed 12 years for rape, sexual assault while on bail

A 30-year-old man from Tredegar, Wales, has been sentenced to a 12-year extended prison term for raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents while he was on bail. The offences occurred between June 2024 and September 2025, and the man, Olukanyinsola Odebode, was described as "very predatory" and "humiliating and degrading" his victims.

The court heard that Odebode had a history of sexual offenses against seven other women since 2019, but those cases did not proceed to convictions. Judge Huw Rees ruled that an extended sentence was necessary due to the risk Odebode posed to the public, and he will remain on the sex offenders' register for the rest of his life.
