Akinwale Oluwafolajimi Oluwatope Arobieke (born 15 July 1961), commonly known as Purple Aki, is a British man known for his criminal convictions for harassment. He has been convicted for touching and measuring the muscles of young men and asking them to squat his body weight.
These crimes were originally ruled as sexually motivated - in 2006 Merseyside Police successfully applied to Liverpool Magistrates' Court for a Sexual Offences Prevention Order.[1] This was lifted in May 2016,[2] and Arobieke has never been convicted of a sexual offence.[3]
On 12 September 2016 BBC Three published an online documentary about Arobieke called The Man Who Squeezes Muscles: Searching for Purple Aki.[4] Later that year, he made an allegation against the BBC of incitement to racial hatred, complaining to Merseyside Police that the documentary was racist and had demonised him.[3]
