In 2022, Abdoulie Jobe, the Hove Rapist, who “systematically” preyed on women, was jailed after he sexually assaulted, raped and falsely imprisoned three women in the space of a month.
British Guest, Abdoulie Jobe, of Harmsworth Crescent, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman aged 19 on July 27 last year, rape and false imprisonment of a 17-year-old girl on August 24 and the rape of a woman aged 31 on August 29 at addresses in Brighton.
During a seven-day trial, Chichester Crown Court heard how the unemployed 29-year-old met his first victim in a nightclub in Brighton on July 27 and would not leave her alone, despite objections from her and her friends.
Abdoulie Jobe sexually assaulted her over her clothing before being ejected from the club. CCTV recorded the incident, though it was not possible to identify him at the time (one in five people is now black in Brighton and Hove).
Barely a month later, at a flat in the city on the night of August 24, Abdoulie Jobe met his second victim, and while they were briefly alone, he raped her.
Then, on the night of August 28 into August 29, he met his third victim with friends while drinking outside a club on the seafront. The group went back to a flat where Abdoulie Jobe raped her.
Abdoulie Jobe was convicted of all charges and sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment.
