A man, Adam Benton Walsall Rapist, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for engaging in sexual contact with a vulnerable lady.
Adam Benton, 50 years old, was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on September 16 2024, after admitting to eight charges concerning sexual activity with a vulnerable adult female.
The allegations pertain to the timeframe from June 2017 to September 2021.
As well as being jailed, Adam Benton was handed a restraining order for life.
Nikki McMurray, from our Adult Care Abuse Investigation Team, said: “Adam Benton took advantage of a vulnerable woman for his sexual gratification. We are pleased with the sentence, which clearly conveys that people who behave in this appalling way will be convicted and spend many years behind bars.
“We are thankful to the brave woman who came forward and spoke to us. We hope her bravery encourages other people subjected to sexual abuse to come forward.”
It is important to note that survivors of sexual abuse are protected by law and have life-long anonymity.
