| Red Rose Database
Headington Child Sexual Abuser
In September 2020, a disturbing case of child sexual abuse came to light involving Bashir Ntego, a resident of Turner View in Headington, Oxford. Ntego was found guilty of multiple counts of sexual assault against a young girl, with the court hearing harrowing details of the abuse that spanned over several incidents.
During the sentencing hearing at Oxford Crown Court, it was revealed that Ntego, aged 43, had denied three charges of sexual assault involving a child under the age of 13. However, after approximately an hour of deliberation, the jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts on all counts, confirming his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
The court heard that the young victim, whose identity remains protected for legal reasons, endured three separate episodes of sexual abuse at the hands of Ntego in Oxfordshire. The girl recounted that after one of the assaults, she boldly told her abuser that she would 'pour oil' into his eyes if he attempted to harm her again, a statement that underscored her bravery in the face of trauma.
In her police statement, the girl described feeling 'disgusting' as a result of the abuse. She detailed how Ntego had touched her in private areas forcefully and had warned her not to tell anyone about what was happening. One particularly disturbing incident involved her waking up to find Ntego kissing her on the lips. When she questioned his actions, he responded with a 'shush' gesture and left the room.
The second assault involved Ntego attempting to remove her clothes and placing a hand down her trousers. When she confronted him about his actions, he responded by giving her money before leaving. The final incident saw Ntego lifting her up and trying to touch her again. During this encounter, the girl told him to stop and again threatened to pour oil into his eyes if he continued. Ntego responded with a dismissive remark, saying, 'you don’t have to do that,' before leaving her.
It was also disclosed during the trial that Ntego had a prior conviction for sexual assault of a child under 13 in Scotland, involving two different victims. This history contributed to the court's assessment of him as a 'dangerous' offender.
Judge Maria Lamb sentenced Ntego to four years in prison. She emphasized the severity of his actions and the threat he posed to the community, stating that he would serve an extended period of two years on licence following his release. Additionally, Ntego is required to register as a sex offender indefinitely, comply with a sexual harm prevention order, and pay a victim surcharge as part of his sentence.
