The abuse began when she was nine years old and continued until she was 13, occurring more than 100 times according to her testimony. Caffrey was previously jailed for three years in 2021 for sexually assaulting four of his nieces, including Odumosu, and admitted to 22 charges of sexual assault spanning from 1991 to 2003. In his ruling, Judge Paul Coffey acknowledged the severity and duration of the abuse, emphasizing that the cumulative impact of these acts caused significant harm.

The judge noted that while Odumosu showed resilience in various aspects of her life, the lasting effects of the abuse would continue into the future.
