A CPS spokesperson stated: "This case is still live, and Odinaka is still set to appear for a PTPH at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 15 September 2026."

A PTPH, or Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing, is a pre-trial proceeding where matters relating to the defendant's plea and the preparation of any subsequent trial are addressed.

The CPS response did not clarify whether Odinaka had been released on bail or remained on remand, which had been the subject of conflicting reports online. Snaresbrook Crown Court had also not confirmed his custody status at the time the reports were filed.

Rumours had been spreading on social media suggesting the complainant withdrew from the case or that the matter was settled out of court. Neither claim had been independently verified by the UK court as of filing.

Charges Odinaka Faces

Odinaka is facing a total of five charges, including attempted grape, two counts of grape, and two counts of assault by penetratiion.
