Rapist who used Snapchat to lure victims to village near Aylesbury for his attacks is jailed for 21 years
A child abuser who talked to his teenage victims on Snapchat and then raped and sexually assaulted them after he met them in a village near Aylesbury has been jailed for 21 years.
Goodness Sokoh, aged 35, of North Street in Leighton Buzzard, was jailed after being found guilty of three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault by penetration, two counts of causing a child to watch a sexual act and one count of inciting a child into sexual activity.
Sokoh has also been placed on the Sexual Offenders Register for life and has been made the subject of a restraining order against all his victims.
Amersham Law Court heard how between October 31 and December 17 2025 Sokoh communicated with the girls, who were all in their teens, through the social media platform Snapchat on the handle 'GWDY_SXNGS'.
Sokoh met with the victims in Pitstone, claiming falsely that he would give them free vapes and cannabis.
After meeting with his victims, Sokoh sexually assaulted and raped them.
Speaking following the sentencing, Detective Constable Natalie Palmer from Thames Valley Police’s child abuse investigation unit praised the victims for their “strength, courage and resilience.”
Det Con Palmer said: "Throughout the process, the girls demonstrated incredible bravery.
“Despite everything they had experienced, they remained committed to helping the investigation and seeking justice.
"Having worked closely with them, I am immensely proud of the way they conducted themselves and the determination they showed during what has been an incredibly difficult time in their lives.
"I would also like to recognise the unwavering support of their families, particularly their mothers, who have stood beside them every step of the way.
“Their love, strength and encouragement have been vital in helping the girls feel safe, supported and able to continue through both the police investigation and court proceedings.
"While I know this outcome does not mark the end of their journey, I hope it brings some reassurance that their voices have been heard and that they have been listened to by the criminal justice system.
"My hope is that this result allows them and their families to begin moving forward, healing and looking towards the future with confidence and hope.
"We are keeping an open mind as to whether there may be further victims.
“We would urge anyone who has been affected by Sokoh's actions, or anyone with information that could assist our enquiries, to please contact Thames Valley Police."
