Do you think he woud put off tourists planning to come to Liverpool in 2008?

The man was jailed in December last year and will not be out until he is at least 48. Despite all the silly rumours about him he is basically just a Merseyside looney who needs to stay in Jail. Maybe Mike Storey got him banged up to make sure all the craziest criminals were cleaned off the streets for 2008 ? The menace is off the street and the only stories to ensue will come from behind prison walls.

I have heard many stories about this guy, the squats, chasing people, "p" or pop, stalking all the Wigan Rugby League team, being killed about 5 times and his father being an important African diplomat. I'd say about 2 per cent of it is true.

He's on holiday in Toronto from what I've heard. Little bastard...

The real life nightmare of any young boy. If he "bothered" any of my kids, I would snuff out his life. Fact :cheers:

He's on holiday in Toronto from what I've heard. So that is what the bad smell is. Wondered where it was coming from. I don't think he'll enjoy the weather, it is presently 34c with the humidex standing at 47c, makes it feel like 116f. :)

A MAN described by detectives as a “predator” because of the way he terrorised the lives of more than 100 young sportsmen has been sent to prison for six years.

Akinwale Arobieke, known universally as ‘Purple Aki’, was sentenced to a six-year jail term after pleading guilty to 15 counts of harassment and a charge of intimidating a witness.

The conviction at Preston Crown Court followed an exhaustive police investigation into Arobieke, 42, from Liverpool, in which 123 young men and teenage boys, mostly from St Helens, were interviewed.

Detectives involved in the probe, codenamed ‘Operation Ice’, revealed how ‘Aki’, about 6ft 2ins tall and powerfully built, would target young men.

Most often the youngsters would be involved with gyms, colleges, and rugby league clubs, both professional and amateur, in St Helens and other rugby league heartlands in the North West.

Obsessive

Described by the parent of one of the young men targeted, as an “urban myth in the flesh”, the notorious Arobieke would often approach his victims and ask to feel their muscles.

Detective Superintendent Mike Dale said: “In his summing up, the judge referred to Arobieke harassing teenagers aged from 13 years upwards, stopping them in the street and engaging in physical contact which was obsessive and going on to take a bizarre interest in their physical and muscular development.

“Over time this has caused his victims to give up social and youth activities like rugby, gym training, and paper rounds because of repeated incidents when they have been terrorised as the result of being followed home all hours of the day and night.

“This is an outstanding example of a tenacious and professional investigation by the detectives in St Helens, in particular Detectives Kilgannon, Pennington, and Johnson, working in partnership with the force’s crimes operation unit.

Traumas

“The officers listened with compassion to the traumas expressed by the victims and gave them every possible means of support.”

At court on Monday, 31 indefinite restraining orders were placed against Arobieke, meaning that he cannot come into contact with victims or witnesses involved in the case. Arobieke has been in prison for the past two years after being convicted of a separate charge.

Thanks Kev.
Still puzzled why he wasn't swiftly put in a van and "taken away" as soon as his habits were known :bash:

He looks like an overweight Nicolas Anelka

i used to think that purple aki was some sick twisted lie made up by mums and dads to keep u from going places that may b dangerous or by the older children in the school to make u change you're pants when have walked to and fro school while not beliveing in this myth to much but still taking the occasional look behind when walking home and feeling the churning of the insides as a black bmw drove passed.

How did it become such and every day part of life the not wanting to go to the park because of purple aki and and the calling card of the p a carved in to his young friends but cheeks that fell pray to the fiend

but out of all this came the good things
the storys that used to be told evry day at school
and the amount of them there must have been 10 of them operating in the different areas probably somekind of website where perverted black men fitting the age build and shape signed up ( who knows )

WE ALL HAVE ARE MEMORIES AND STORIES
1 Purple aki could lift any rugby player over his head disregarding hight build and physique

2 he used to drive a black bmw with 18 inch chrome alloys

3 he used to live in skitters woods (a wood i used to play in when a child)

4 he drowned in skiiters wood brooke.

5 he was like a horror movie series star cos he must have died 13 fucking times

6 he was bullet proof

7 the local semi english talking black man that lived above the newsagents got the punishment for the real purple akis attacks but to this day he doesn't know why.

and ma fave

purple aki went out with one of my class mates mums lol

*Shudders*

Dave, he avoided a severe menching in because he wasn't entirely stupid, he knew how to pick his victims and avoided the people/families who would chop him up although he has taken one or two shoeings for his troubles.

Wasn't he from Toxteth?

He is.

Woaw, blast from the past - this is like finding out that Freddy krueger is alive and well and serving time for being a 'nightmare nuisance'.. I remember the stories from my school days, he's the bogyman that was the source of countless rumours and grisly episodes in deserted parks etc. Odd to think he's just some nutter who had an obsession with 'muscular development'...

Stupid fucking thread to start up again
IMHO
:deadthrea

He felt my mate up in the Mystery park, Wavertree. Chased us along the railway lines and down Picton Road. This was probably 20 years ago as well.

Agree. Last post was in July 2005 before today, why bring it back up? Weird.

Not really about development in Liverpool either?

I find it quite interesting.

better suited to a liverpool forum with a broader range discussions. I do often wonder why these threads start on SSC.

I also wonder why people who question the merits of certain threads, keep bumping them up with their questions!?

Don't suppose you know of any? :okay:

You're right though. People sometimes forget that this isn't a general Liverpool board.

Anyway, Gareth is now a mod and I'm sure he'll be along soon enough to sort out this kind of thing.

Such as you?

Doh!
And me too :bash: :bash: :bash:
