A science teacher who took a 14 year-old schoolgirl pupil's virginity when raping her in a hotel room - before embarking on a secret three-year affair with the teen - was jailed for twelve years yesterday.
Keith Ogunsola, 47, (pictured) of Banstead, Surrey repeatedly had sex with the girl in his car and even at her home, while she was wearing her school uniform, Croydon Crown Court heard.
"The effect you have had on that young girl is devastating," Judge Jeff Blackett told the father-of-three, whose wife has stood by him throughout the case.
"You are a sexual predator of the worst kind who abused your position as a teacher to satisfy your own perverted lust. You pose a serious risk to such girls in the future."
Prosecutor Miss Hannah Llewellyn-Waters said: "She feels her teenage years were stolen from her by a man she trusted, but took her innocence."
Judge Blackett told emotionless Ogunsola: "You offered to drive her home and forcibly kissed her on the lips and a month later asked her to meet you in a hotel room for extra tuition and raped her.
"When she threatened to break away from you two years later you raped her again. You forced her onto a bed and ripped her clothes."
The defendant was found guilty of two counts of rape, receiving consecutive eight and four-year sentences, three sample counts of engaging in sexual activity with a 14 year-old girl while in a position of trust, receiving four years concurrent and one count of sexual assault, receiving six months concurrent.
Ogunsola will have to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life and and Sexual Offences Prevention Order was made prohibiting him working with children aged under sixteen or having unsupervised contact with any child.
The victim only came forward after reading press reports of the defendant's conviction and suspended sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court for sexually assaulting a teenage schoolgirl he taught in East London.
Miss Llewellyn-Waters told the jury at the start of the trial: "She turned to him for additional guidance and this defendant betrayed her trust by exploiting her naivety and respect for him for his own sexual gratification."
Ogunsola "groomed" the girl - a former pupil at Stanley Park High School, Carshalton - where he was employed between September 1998 and December 2001.
"He created a bond of trust in his capacity as her teacher and tested the water by kissing her and when she did not complain he escalated his grooming process and took her virginity from her with an act of rape.
"She was manoeuvred into a position where she did not tell anyone, believing her word would not be believed against a teacher and the defendant told her what to do, say and wear," explained Miss Llewellyn-Waters.
"She lied to her family about where she was going and what was happening and the defendant told her if anyone found out they would not believe her and her friends and family would consider her a slag.
"When she wanted to have a boyfriend he became jealous and when she refused to have sex with the defendant he ripped her clothes off and raped her again."
In January, 2001 Ogunsola "persisted" in offering the reluctant schoolgirl a lift in his car and when eventually persuaded he drove her to Beddington Park.
"He told her she was pretty and he really fancied her," explained the prosecutor. "He leaned over, pulled her toward him, and she remembers he was trying to stick his tongue into her mouth."
It was her first-ever kiss.
Under the guise of helping her with extra GCSE studies Ogunsola lured the girl to a Purley Way hotel.
"The defendant started to kiss her, pushed her back on the bed, and climbed on top of her," Miss Llewellyn-Waters told the jury. "She was telling him to get off, but he ignored her pleas and told her to be quiet.
"He puled her trousers and underwear down, had his weight against her, and then raped her.
"She repeatedly told him to get off her and that he was hurting her, but he told her to be quiet because she was resisting him and crying."
Ogunsola then pursued and under-age affair and would collect the girl after school for sex in his car in the Purley area and they stayed at local hotels and overnight in Southend, Milton Keynes and Gatwick.
He played her a pornographic dvd on his laptop in one hotel room, put her on 'the pill' and ordered her to wear skirts without knickers because it made sex more convenient for him, the court was told.
After leaving Stanley Park Ogunsola continued 'tutoring' the girl during her A levels and allegedly raped her again during a row about her new boyfriend in an Imperial Way hotel.
"He pushed her onto the bed and as he tried to pull her skirt up he ripped it," explained Miss Llewellyn-Waters. "He puled off her underwear and had sex with her."
