In 2020, the Offender Database recorded that then 43-year-old Bashir Ntego—of Turner View, Headington, Oxford—was jailed as a “dangerous” recidivist for a series of predatory strikes against a young girl. The investigation established that Ntego sexually abused his victim on three occasions in Oxfordshire, even attempting to buy her silence by giving her money after one of the attacks. The prosecution reported at Oxford Crown Court that despite Ntego denying three counts of sexual assault against a child under 13, a jury took only one hour to return unanimous guilty verdicts.
The investigation established that Ntego’s strikes included kissing the child while she slept and forcefully touching her in private places. The prosecution reported the victim’s harrowing description of her ordeal, stating it made her feel “disgusting” and like she was “an ant and he was a giant all over me.” The child displayed remarkable bravery, eventually threatening to “pour oil” into Ntego’s eyes to force him to back off during his final predatory strike.
JUDICIAL FINDINGS AND EXTENDED SENTENCING
The court reported that Ntego was already a convicted paedophile, having previously been jailed for the sexual violation of two children in Scotland. The investigation established that this history of serial child abuse, combined with his latest strikes in Oxford, necessitated an “extended sentence” to protect the public. The prosecution reported that Judge Maria Lamb labelled Ntego a “dangerous” offender, noting his use of coercion and his total disregard for the human rights of his victims.
Judge-led proceedings at Oxford Crown Court concluded in 2020. For his actions in Headington and the nature of the serial sexual violence reported, Bashir Ntego was sentenced to four years in prison with an additional two-year extended licence period. The judge also ordered that Ntego sign the Sex Offenders Register for life and made him subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) to ensure his predatory behaviour is permanently monitored.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
Ntego is managed as a Category 1 high-risk offender under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) Level 3 in Oxfordshire. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his “serial” history of targeting multiple children across two different countries—he is a priority for the most intensive level of community supervision. Authorities reported that the 2020 conviction ensures Ntego is permanently flagged on national databases, meaning any attempt to hold a position of trust or interact with children in Headington or elsewhere will be blocked.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that Ntego’s behaviour identifies an individual who prioritised his own perverted gratification over the safety and human rights of children. Any failure by Ntego to adhere to his notification requirements, his SHPO, or his strict licence conditions upon his eventual release will result in immediate police intervention and a return to prison to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from a man who has repeatedly violated the principles of human decency.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “Offered the Victim Money” after the assault to buy her silence, do you believe the law should legally mandate that any attempt to bribe a child victim should carry a mandatory “Life Sentence” with no possibility of parole?
