19-Year-Old Nigerian Student in US Faces Sexual Assault Charge
Oluwasegun Sanni, a 19-year-old student at Mount Saint Charles Academy in Rhode Island, was arrested on March 17, 2026. He is charged with second-degree sexual assault after a female classmate, who is a minor, accused him of cornering her outside a locker room and touching her inappropriately. Court records show the victim told police that Sanni grabbed her neck, tried to kiss her, and forced his hand under her skirt. At arraignment, the judge ordered Sanni to have no contact with the student and to ignore her if they cross paths at school. The academy says it takes all such reports seriously and is working with authorities. Families were informed, students were urged not to spread rumors, and the school vows a fair, impartial process while respecting everyone’s privacy. Sanni was released on his own recognizance pending trial.
