By Ella Makondo

United Kingdom (UK) based Nigerian rapper, Olawale Hassan popularly known as Goldie 1, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping a woman in her twenties.

Hassan who according to BBC.com,  lives at Falcon Avenue, Grays, Essex was said to have committed  the crime  in Southend in 2017. He had claimed to be a music producer.

During his trial, Hassan, 33 denied the three counts of rape and one charge of assault by penetration levelled against him.

It was gathered that Hassan targeted the woman while she was out with a friend in February 2017.

She, however, turned down his requests for her number and to accompany him to his hotel room before he promised to get her home safely after her friend left.

But, instead of taking her home, he parked his car on the seafront and locked its doors before raping  her. He later took her home .

The victim thereafter called the police.

Essex Police has described him as “manipulative and calculated”.

The detective Constable , Victoria De’ath, of the force, praised the woman for her “courage” in reporting the attack.
