The evil criminals involved in the biggest-ever child sex abuse ring in the West Midlands have been jailed for more than 145 years. A total of 21 people have been convicted of sickening crimes against seven children up to the age of 12.
The 'abhorrent and cruel' offences stretched over almost a decade in the Walsall and Wolverhampton areas. A huge six-year probe into the abuse was launched by West Midlands Police after one of the victims went to hospital in 2017.
It is the biggest investigation of its kind in West Midland Police’s history, with one detective branding the 'systematic' abuse as the 'most shocking' he has ever seen. The case could only now be reported due to reporting restrictions imposed at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
