The Prosecuting attorney uncovered how he spotted the victim, chased her into the woods near the Reserve at Sweet-water Apartments where she lived before punching and beat her, threw her to the ground before having carnal knowledge of her. During the attack, Bah threatened to kill her if she resisted.
The victim hurriedly ran to a family friend’s apartment to seek help after the attack, as reported in a press release that the Douglas County District Attorney’s granted. According to Fox5Atlanta, the defense asked the court, pleading for mercy and to allow Adedoja to return to his home Country. The Judge denied this request.
Judge Adams said, “mercy is not mine to give you. I’m not the one you should be asking for mercy from.” .
Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Samantha J. Newman told the court during the Judgement hearing,“This man is a predator in every sense of the word, and the only way I know to guarantee that he doesn’t rape another child is to make sure he is never outside of prison again”.
Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Samantha J. Newman also added“He deserves the sentence he received, and the victim deserves to know that Bah will never, ever, hurt her or anyone else again. Because of this victim’s strength and bravery in testifying, she has ensured the Defendant won’t be able to prey on another woman or child again”.
