Akepe Gerard Ntube, 47, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for Sexual Battery, followed by 5 years of Sex Offender Probation. The Lehigh Acres resident is also now a designated Sexual Offender.
In July, Ntube was found guilty following a trial in Lee County. The crime happened in 2020 when Ntube worked as a physical therapist at a chiropractor’s office.
He sexually battered a woman getting a massage to heal a work injury. The victim drove straight to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and reported the crime. Deputies investigated and arrested the defendant.
Assistant State Attorney Michael Curley, of the Special Victims Unit, prosecuted the case.
