February 17 | Updated 2012–2025
Crown Prosecution Service prosecuted Jordan Ndaka, 17 from Lewisham, Temi Adiola, 16 from Catford, and Babatude Etsi, 14 from Forest Hill following an investigation from the Metropolitan Police linking the three youthful offenders to a violent sexual assault.
The three defendants were sentenced to an aggregate 45 years with each defendant having a 15-year sentence following a possibility of release on license when they have served more than half of that sentence after the sentencing magistrate described the horrific incident to be a violation of someone’s body and detailed the incident to be a sadistic plot that left the 13 year old victim with trauma to the skull after she was struck by Jordan Ndaka and Babatude Etsi, with Temi Adiola then forcefully pulling down the victim’s dress while she was unconscious and forcefully penetrating her genitalia with no care for possible repercussions down the line or sense of guilt.
INVESTIGATION DETAILS
Detective Chief Inspector David Manning of the Metropolitan Police’s Violence and Serious Crime Unit stated: “Our teams responded immediately to reports of an assault near Bellevue Street. The quick response of our officers led to an arrest within 25 minutes of the incident being reported. After a citizen testified on the reported sexual assault by the 3 defendants sharing the unconscious victim sadistically.
A comprehensive forensic examination of the scene was captured and visualized the horrific scene, CCTV footage from surrounding was obtained and reviewed, with one footage capturing the victim’s screams before being put unconscious, multiple residents also testified they heard the commotion.
The incident occurred when the victim was walking in the area, she was subtly called by Jordan Ndaka before Babatude Etsi struck the victim and proceeded to restrain her. Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed they are not looking for any additional suspects at this time following the judgment and has put out a message that whoever participates in such behavior will be met with foreseeing and harsh consequences, this behavior is unacceptable.

Speed, Greed, and the Dangerous Game of Revenge
There are some things in the world that are not just symbols of wealth, but become identities of power, arrogance, and obsession. The rare 1937 Bugatti is one of those things. The film begins with a grand and luxurious auction, where this legendary car stands on stage as the center of everyone’s attention. The auctioneer announces that it is one of the rarest cars in the world, with only two models existing globally. This announcement ignites greed in the hearts of every wealthy person present in the crowd. The bidding starts at thirty million dollars and keeps increasing moment by moment. Someone bids thirty-two, someone thirty-four, and finally the bid reaches forty-one million dollars. This final bid is placed by a man named Jack, who is in contact with his boss. On the surface, he appears to be a rich buyer, but in reality, he is working for a powerful and dangerous criminal. The Bugatti is not going to belong to him, but to his boss. At the same time, the film introduces us to two brothers—Andrew and Garrett. Both are world-famous and highly skilled car thieves. Luxury and supercars are their obsession, and they have stolen some of the best cars in the world. The reason both brothers are connected to the Bugatti’s path is because they want to steal this rare car. The Bugatti theft on the highway is one of the most thrilling scenes of the film. High-speed vehicles, jumping onto a truck using ropes, a shower of bullets, and the shadow of death—Andrew and Garrett risk their lives to steal the Bugatti. This is not just a theft, but a practical demonstration of skill, nerves, and madness. After the theft, both brothers celebrate, but this happiness does not last long. When they go to a man named Jimmy to sell the Bugatti, he refuses to buy it. Jimmy knows that this car does not belong to an ordinary person, but to a very powerful and dangerous businessman named Morrier. Morrier is not only a wealthy man, but also runs an entire criminal empire. Soon, Andrew and Garrett are captured and presented before Morrier. Morrier tells them his story—a journey that started from poverty, an empire built through crime, and an obsession with rare cars. For him, these cars are not just a hobby, but symbols of his power and ego. The theft of the Bugatti becomes a personal insult to him. Morrier gives both of them one chance to stay alive, but his condition is extremely dangerous. They must steal a 1962 Ferrari belonging to a man named Max—a car that is one of a kind in the world and worth more than millions of dollars. Max is a young but exceptionally intelligent business tycoon, and also Morrier’s old enemy. From here, the story moves beyond a simple theft and turns into a battle of minds. Andrew and Garrett form an entire team, including Stephanie, Devon, bomb expert Lane, and skilled race drivers. Every person has a specific role, and every mistake can lead to death. The character of Max adds more depth to the story. He appears to be a polite and successful businessman, but behind him is an extremely sharp mind. He is both impressed by Andrew and Garrett’s abilities and cautious of them. His Ferrari is not just a car, but his identity. The story takes a new turn when it is revealed that the real plan was never to steal the Ferrari. The Bugatti was merely a move, a trap—used to ensnare Morrier along with his arrogance. Andrew, Garrett, and Max were actually playing the same game from the very beginning, where the real target was Morrier’s treasure of rare and valuable cars. In the climax, speed, explosions, and intelligence collide together. A collapsing bridge, long car chases, betrayal, sacrifices, and finally Morrier’s fate—all symbolize that the game of power and greed ultimately ends in destruction. In the end, Andrew proposes marriage to Stephanie, Garrett finds love, and the team completes an impossible mission. But the biggest lesson remains that in this world, the most dangerous weapon is not a gun or speed, but the mind, patience, and the final move played at the right time. Final Question Is power really found only in money and weapons, or is true power hidden in the mind that silently turns the entire game around?

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.
