Nigerian born science teacher spared jail term over sexual assaults

Nigerian born science teacher who was accused of sexual assault on a 14 year-old female student in the UK, Keith Ogunsola, has escaped spending time behind the bars because of his frail heart condition.Ogunsola, 44, has been charged with sexual assault cases with many female students in the past but keep escaping the gulag. This time around, he has been banned from teaching in any school in the UK.
Delivering his judgement, Judge Martyn Zeidman QC said;

“Certainly what you have done doesn’t deserve a death sentence. I’m just persuaded that it would be right in the circumstances of this case to suspend the sentence of imprisonment.


You will never again be employed as a school teacher. My primary concern is to protect members of the public and other potential pupils.”

According to Daily Mail, a jury convicted Ogunsola, of Banstead, Surrey, of sexual assault but cleared him of an attempted sexual assault on a girl of 15 at the same school in February 2006.

Jurors also acquitted Ogunsola of two indecent assaults on teenage girls at a school he taught at in Carshalton, Surrey, between January and May 2000.

Ogunsola left the school in Surrey in 2001 before stints at Islington Green School, North London, and the Pimlico Academy in Westminster before moving to Ilford in 2005.

The former headmaster of the school in Surrey revealed Ogunsola had been warned about his conduct with girl pupils prior to the alleged assaults in 2000.
