Story: Nigerian-American police officer, Sinmi Asomuyide, bags 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 14yo, girl he rescued following a 911 call. He denied, tampered with evidence, until dried semen was recovered from his car and the DNA matched. Asomuyide 33, and another cop responded to a 911 call from a man, reporting that his 14yo teenage daughter had runaway from home in Indiana, on June 30th 2024. They eventually found her at a friend’s house and took her to a youth centre.But, Officer Asumoyide had other plans. While at the centre, he switched off his body camera and used the girls phone to call his personal TextNow line, before authoritatively questioning her about her sexual experience and activities, matters irrelevant to the 911 report. Then he searched her, found a vape pen, took it, and told her he’d contact her later to return it. Before she left the station Asumoyide also collected her social media handles. He later continued contacting her under the excuse of returning the vape he seized from her during the search. That same evening, he requested for overtime at work claiming he needed more time to complete some paperwork till about 12 a.m. Instead, the Nigerian-American officer went to the girl’s home, demanded to speak to her privately as if for investigations, then handcuffed and took her to an empty warehouse car park in his uniform and patrol car. There he uncuffed her, moved her to the front seat, forced himself on her, cuffed her again and drove her home. Fortunately, she bravely informed her family who immediately escalated it prompting an Indiana police and FBI investigation. A week later, Officer Asumoyide was questioned. He totally denied. He claimed, she was the one who contacted him on his work phone and he didn’t know how she got his number. Perhaps, she overheard him calling it out for a colleague at the youth center. However, forensic investigations carried out on his phones showed he deleted chats, and recently googled “how to delete TextMe account” “Delete TextNow account”. Also, dried semen matching his DNA was found at the centre console of his patrol vehicle after forensic examinations. — he was subsequently dismissed from the Kokomo PD, Indiana. With overwhelming evidence, the ex-officer was indicted for sexual assault and attempting to mislead investigators. He was convicted of kidnapping, abuse of power, sexually assaulting a minor, lying and tampering with evidence, and sentenced to 40 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. The Judge described the experience as a horrific episode for the victim, hoping she’s able to recover. The plot thickens.. During investigation, the FBI discovered that Mr. Sunni Asomuyide previously had intercourse with a 15yo minor while he was a police officer at Portsmouth PD, Virginia, resulting to his resignation. When he moved to Indiana, he claimed he was forced to resign because they found him “hanging” out with a 17yr old girl, who told him she was 19. This incident of course also influenced his judgement. He was convicted in June 2026 before receiving the 40yr sentence in November. 33yr old Asomuyide will be out in no time, at 73 in the year 2066. Follow @TrendingEx for dailies ..
