Sinmi Asomuyide, Sexually Assaulting 14-Year-old Girl, Indiana 2024

Grimy Times has learned that a 14-year-old girl was brutally sexually assaulted by none other than a former Kokomo Police Department officer, Sinmi Asomuyide. The 31-year-old Asomuyide, who is now facing federal charges, allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted the minor.

A federal grand jury in Indianapolis, Indiana, returned a two-count indictment, unsealed today, charging former Kokomo Police Department officer Sinmi Asomuyide with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and with lying to state investigators to try to cover up the assault.

The first count of the indictment charges Asomuyide with willfully depriving Minor #1, who was 14 years old, of her constitutional rights by sexually assaulting her. The first count also charges that the defendant’s conduct included kidnapping.

The second count of the indictment charges Asomuyide with lying to the Indiana State Police to try to cover up the assault by, among other things, denying having sexual contact with Minor #1 and denying that there would be any reason for the presence of his semen in his squad car when, in fact, he ejaculated inside his squad car after causing Minor #1’s hand to touch his exposed penis.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division, Interim U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Wheeler for the Southern District of Indiana, and Special Agent in Charge Timothy O’Malley of the FBI Indianapolis Field Office made the announcement.

The FBI Indianapolis Field Office is investigating the case, with the cooperation of the Kokomo Police Department; Bloomington Police Department; and Indiana State Police.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Blackett for the Southern District of Indiana and Senior Sex Crimes Counsel Tara Allison of the Civil Rights Division are prosecuting the case.

This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

As a reminder, an indictment is merely an allegation. The defendant, Sinmi Asomuyide, is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
