Tosin Dada, 34, and Solomon Ibukun Adebiyi, 39, have been found guilty of multiple counts of rape by the Northampton Crown Court in connection with the assault of a 17-year-old girl. The verdict was delivered last week after a 9-day trial, during which the jury deliberated for eight hours before reaching a unanimous decision.
Dada, previously residing on Knox Road, Wellingborough, and Adebiyi, formerly of Stanley Street, Northampton, were each charged with three counts of rape related to the incident that occurred on March 12, 2022. The men had attempted to argue that the sexual activity was consensual, but their defense was rejected by the court.
