A 46-year-old man who raped a 14-year-old on video while his friend filmed the assault was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in federal prison, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Leigha Simonton.
Lukumond Adebola Olatunji, 46, and his coconspirator, Vincent Jerome Thompson, 42, were indicted in January 2022. Mr. Thompson pleaded guilty in June 2024 to production of child pornography and aiding and abetting; two months later, Mr. Olatunji pleaded guilty to kidnapping a minor.
Mr. Olatunji was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade to 240 months in federal prison, and ordered to register as a sex offender. Mr. Thompson received the same sentence in October.
According to plea papers, the men admit that on Oct. 23, 2021, they approached a 14-year-old girl and offered her a ride home. They then drove to an alleyway where Mr. Olatunji sexually assaulted her in the backseat of the car. Mr. Thompson recorded the assault on his cell phone, providing commentary as the assault progressed.
On the video, the child can be heard saying, "I don't want to do it no more," and "can we go?"
The pair then took the child to a nearby motel, where both men continued to sexually assault her. After approximately five hours inside the motel room, the child ran out of the room carrying her backpack and shoes. Police responded and searched the motel room, where they found condom wrappers and drug paraphernalia.
In interviews with law enforcement, both men admitted to engaging in sexual intercourse with the child. Mr. Olatunji admitted that the child repeatedly told them that she did not want to have sex anymore.
Homeland Security Investigation's Dallas Field Office and the Dallas Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michelle A. Winters, Jenna Rudoff (fmr.), and Joe Magliolo (fmr.) are prosecuting the case.
