Justice Catches Up With "Vile Predator" Who Raped 14 Year-Old Girl At Train Station

A “vile predator", who groomed an underage girl and raped her in a railway station shelter, has been locked-up for four years.

Marvin Ogbogbo, 23, of Millstone Close, Stratford fought the charge, but was convicted by an Isleworth Crown Court jury.

The victim, who was 14 years-old at the time of the offence on 2019, came forward and reported Ogbogbo last year.

He must also sign the sex offenders register for life and obey a restraining order, prohibiting contact with the victim.

In 2019, Ogbogbo, aged 17 years-old at the time, met the girl through social media. 

After interacting online for a few months, he invited the girl out shopping.

They met for the day at Lakeside shopping centre in Essex before heading to Chafford Hundred station so Ogbogbo could travel back to London.

He took her to a sheltered seating area on the platform and repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap before raping her.

Ogbogbo then fled the scene on a London-bound train, leaving the victim at the station.

Five years later, the victim reported the attack to police who launched a full investigation.

In interview he denied what had happened and tried to make out to detectives that he only kissed the girl at the Essex rail station in 2019.

British Transport Police Detective Constable Jennifer Brown said: “Putting Ogbogbo behind bars for this abhorrent rape is testament to the victim who showed immense bravery in reporting what happened to her.

“Ogbogbo is a vile predator who targeted an underage girl and groomed her for his own sexual gratification.”
