Leighton Buzzard man jailed for 21 years for multiple child sexual offences
Goodness Sokoh convicted of rape, assault, and inciting minors into sexual activity
Goodness Sokoh, aged 35, from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for multiple child sexual offences following a Thames Valley Police investigation.
Sokoh was found guilty by a jury at Amersham Law Court of numerous offences, including three counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault, among others, as of 4th August.
Today, he was sentenced at the same court to serve 21 years' imprisonment.
Additionally, Sokoh is subject to a restraining order against all victims and has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
During the period from 31st October to 17th December last year, Sokoh communicated with four teenage girls via Snapchat, using the handle 'GWDY_SXNGS.' He then lured them to Pitstone, Buckinghamshire, with promises of free vapes and cannabis, where he proceeded to sexually assault and rape them.
The police investigation led to Sokoh's arrest on 17th December 2025 and subsequent charges two days later.
Detective Constable Natalie Palmer expressed gratitude to the victims for their courage and resilience throughout the investigation and trial, praising their commitment to seeking justice despite the traumatic experiences.
Their families, particularly the mothers, were commended for their support throughout the process, helping the girls feel safe and supported.
Thames Valley Police urges anyone affected by Sokoh's actions or anyone with relevant information to contact them, as they remain open to identifying further victims.
