Man Jailed For More Than Eight Years For Rape And Intentional Strangulation In Portsmouth
A man has been jailed for more than eight years after being convicted of rape and intentional strangulation in Portsmouth.
Momodau Bojang, 56, of Bramble Road, Southsea, appeared at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday, 22 May, where he was sentenced to eight years and 10 months in prison.
The sentence also reflected a breach of a previous suspended sentence.
The court heard that police were called in the early hours of Tuesday, 28 October 2025, after a woman in her 40s reported that Bojang was not allowing her to leave his address in Bramble Road.
Officers attended the property, located the woman and arrested Bojang, who was taken into custody.
Later that same day, the woman disclosed to officers that, over the course of several days while staying at Bojang’s address, he had raped and restrained her.
Bojang pleaded not guilty and stood trial at Portsmouth Crown Court on Monday, 16 March. Following a five-day trial, a jury found him guilty of rape and intentional strangulation.
He was sentenced to eight years and 10 months’ imprisonment and was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Detective Constable Ellie Light, from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary’s Operation Amberstone team, said she was pleased to see Bojang brought to justice.
She said: “His behaviour demonstrates that he is clearly a dangerous and violent individual who believes he can treat other people deplorably with no consequence for his actions.
“I would like to thank the victim for her courage in speaking up about what happened to her and for her support throughout the investigation and court proceedings. She has been integral in helping us put Bojang behind bars.
“I would like to encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward and speak to us.
“We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously. You will be supported and we will thoroughly investigate any report made to us.”
Anyone who needs to report rape or sexual assault can contact police on 101, via the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary website, or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Support is also available for survivors of sexual abuse, whether or not they choose to report the offence to police.
