A man from Birmingham has been jailed for sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
Lennie Williams attacked the girl back in 2020 when he was 19. The brave victim came forward to tell us what happened and Police launched an investigation.
Officers carried out several enquiries including obtaining statements from witnesses and reviewing phone messages.
Williams, aged 24, from Goldstar Way, was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a female under 16.
On 7 November at Birmingham Crown Court, Williams was jailed for two years and 10 months after pleading guilty. He was handed a restraining order and placed on the sex offenders register.
DC Garratt said: “This child has had to wait a long time for justice. She was so brave and patient and I am thankful that she was able to come forward and report this because she has protected potential other victims from harm.”
The Complex Child Abuse department are specially trained to deal sensitively with sexual abuse survivors, offer them support and guide them through the court process.
It is important to note that survivors of sexual assault are protected by law and have life-long anonymity.
