A Nigerian man identified as Victor Komolafe has been sentenced to eight years and 11 months in prison in the United Kingdom after being convicted of multiple sexual offences against two women.
Komolafe, 35, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on June 3, 2026, following his conviction on four serious sexual offence charges earlier this year.
The conviction resulted from the Metropolitan Police’s V100 programme, an initiative designed to identify and target individuals considered to pose the highest risk to women and girls across London.
In addition to his prison sentence, the court imposed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and ordered that Komolafe remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Earlier, on April 23, 2026, a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court found him guilty of four offences, including attempted rape, sexual assault, and two counts of assault by penetration.
According to investigators, Komolafe, who also used the aliases Ghost and Xavier, targeted two women who did not know each other.
Detectives said he often used friendship and familiarity to gain the trust of victims before committing the offences.
“Komolafe would hide behind a guise of familiarity and friendship with his victims; this enabled him to exploit his formed connections and target these women for his abusive crimes,” investigators stated.
Police said the first investigation began after a woman reported a sexual assault in August 2023. During questioning, Komolafe claimed the encounter was consensual. However, detectives gathered forensic evidence that supported the victim’s account.
A second woman later reported a similar incident in September 2023. Investigators said the victim alleged she was deprived of food and water as a means of weakening her before further offences were committed.
According to police, forensic testing linked Komolafe to the offences, with DNA evidence recovered from clothing belonging to one of the complainants.
One of the victims encouraged other survivors to report crimes and seek justice.
“If you have a feeling that something happened to you against your will, go to the police. It’s worth speaking up even if you’re not sure,” she said.
The Metropolitan Police highlighted the role of its V100 initiative in securing the conviction. The programme uses intelligence and data analysis to identify the highest-risk offenders and prioritize investigations aimed at protecting women and girls.
Officials said more than 200 offenders have been convicted through the initiative since its launch in 2023.
Police described the sentence as another significant outcome in ongoing efforts to remove dangerous offenders from the streets and hold them accountable for their crimes.
