A Black Country man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for historic sex offences.

David Marshall, 62, of Twydale Avenue in Tividale was found guilty of 15 counts of indecent assault on a male person.

Marshall will also be added to the sex offenders register until further notice.

Sergeant Alex Webb from West Mercia Police said: “These are non-recent offences dating back to the 1980s and 1990s which saw abhorrent crimes committed.

“The victims in this case have had to wait a long time to see justice and I would commend their bravery throughout the investigation and commitment to see this through court.

“I’d encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault, whether as an adult or child, and whether recent or not, to contact us. You will be taken seriously, and you will be listened to.”

If you’ve been affected by sexual assault, then local support is available from the Victim Advice Line on 0800 9523000, or via email at info@victimadviceline.org.uk.
