Ikeja Special Offences Court has sentenced Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju James, also known as Baba Ijesha, to 16 years in jail for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
The judgement went for two hours by Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, who convicted Baba Ijesha of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault and attempted sexual assault of which the offenses contravene Section 135, 137, 261, 202, 262 and 263 of the Lagos State Criminal Law 2015, which stipulates life imprisonment for offenders.
The actor denied the allegations. A CCTV video recording detailing his relationship with the victim said to be a minor was played in court. 
Taiwo, however, discharged and acquitted him of count one and count six, which were: sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
