A FORMER BRITISH AIRWAYS PILOT, KWAME YEBOAH, HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON AFTER BEING CONVICTED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING A YOUNG GIRL HE ALLEGEDLY GROOMED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.(PHOTO).


 A former British Airways pilot, Kwame Yeboah, has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing a young girl he allegedly groomed through social media.


Yeboah, a 30-year-old former England youth basketball international, first came into contact with the victim on the video-chat platform Omegle. Their communication later continued on Instagram, where they exchanged messages and regularly spoke through calls.


Prosecutors told the court that Yeboah built a relationship with the girl online before arranging to meet her in person, leading to a series of offences that ultimately resulted in his conviction and imprisonment.


A court heard that Yeboah, described by prosecutors as a dangerous predator, travelled to meet the teenager after grooming her on-line and checked into a hotel before sexually assaulting her on two occasions in his car.


The Ghana-born former pilot, 30, later admitted to multiple s*xual offences, including three counts of rape and one count of assault by penetration. Appearing before the court via video link from prison, he was sentenced to eight years and four months in custody and will serve an additional year on licence following his release.


He was sacked by BA as soon as the airline was told about his crimes.


Yeboah's sickening offences were exposed after the girl's mother learnt from one of her young friends that she had been speaking to a man online and later had sex with him and contacted police.
