[Twenty-one people have been convicted
for their parts in the largest
ever child sex abuse case investigated
by West Midlands Police.
The offending against seven children,
who were 12 years old or younger,
took place over nearly a decade in Walsall
and Wolverhampton.
The abuse came to light after concerns were
raised following a hospital visit
by one of the victims.

Thirteen of the defendants have been
jailed with four to be sentenced later.
Of those already imprisoned,
sentences range from 28 months to life.
Four people have been given
non-custodial sentences.

The case can only now be reported
because a series of trials which
began last year has ended.]
