Chiemka Okoronta and the 17-year-old girl were on board a night service unexpectedly terminated in Morley, Leeds, with both requiring transport home to Bradford on 25 March. The 29-year-old postgraduate student tricked her into sharing a taxi before luring her into his accommodation and attacking her in a locked toilet, Bradford Crown Court heard. Okoronta, who was convicted of multiple rape offences, was told he was likely to be deported following his sentence. Okoronta, originally from Nigeria, must also serve three years on extended licence and register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The court heard the teenager's phone died after alighting the bus, with Okoronta offering to share a taxi to Bradford Interchange.
