After being convicted of rape in a previous trial, 48-year-old Dalvir Singh from West Bromwich received a 15-year prison sentence for his crimes of sexual assault. He was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 6 February.
Our Public Protection Unit started an inquiry after a young woman reported the abuse she had suffered to her local GP surgery staff.
Officers quickly arrested Singh and he admitted to having sex with her multiple times but falsely accused her of coercing him into sex.
The video recorded interview of the woman was crucial for getting a guilty verdict.
We have worked with other agencies and charities to support her throughout this ordeal.
We are grateful for her courage in coming forward with her story.
We want to remind everyone that the law grants life-long anonymity to sexual abuse survivors.To speak to the force’s Public Protection Unit, call 101 or contact RSVP (Rape & Sexual Violence Project) Birmingham on 0121 643 4136.
