Talented former Golden Eaglets star and FC Copenhagen of Denmark forward Akinkunmi Amoo, has been given a one-year jail sentence by a Danish court after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting three women.
The footballer was first arrested on September 10, 2022, but was released on bail on October 7.
Shortly afterwards, Danish authorities filed criminal charges against him.
Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet reported that Amoo was sentenced by a Danish court on Friday, June 23, 2023.
Reporting the outcome of the footballer’s trial, the newspaper wrote:
“This is the outcome of the trial, which has been going on for most of June, where a top player in Danish football has been charged with rape in a sexual relationship other than intercourse, as well as attempted rape and violations of two more women.
“It happens after he was found guilty of all three charges in the Copenhagen District Court by a dissenting magistrate on Friday afternoon, and it was a shaken man who received his sentence as he stood there in the middle of the room and listened to the outcome.
“An unconditional prison sentence for one year.”
It is expected that Amoo will appeal the judgement.
