Akinwale Arobieke, 46, also known as Purple Aki
A LIVERPOOL man has failed in his bid to get an order banning him from squeezing young men’s muscles overturned.
Akinwale Arobieke is notorious across Merseyside for his “obsession” with groping and measuring boys’ muscles and seeing young men squat.
His “odd and eccentric” behaviour led to police hitting him with a restrictive sexual offenders prevention order (SOPO) the day he was released from prison for harassment and witness intimidation in 2006.
All this week, the 20-stone body-building obsessive has been bidding to get the magistrates’ order quashed, despite allegations he has continued to grope and intimidate men in prison.
The 46-year-old, who admitted he was “infamous, notorious, everything from a bogeyman to whatever”, claimed the order had been made illegally and was far too punitive.
But yesterday Judge William George, sitting with two magistrates, rejected the appeal.
Judge George told 6ft 5in Arobieke, who has never been convicted of a sexual offence, the order was valid.
