Clive Penniall, a man from Walsall, has been sentenced to 24 years in prison following his conviction for historical sexual assault, which includes repeated rapes of a woman and the abuse of a youngster.
Clive Penniall, residing on Wolverhampton Road West, was sentenced to imprisonment at Wolverhampton Crown Court last week after being convicted after a trial on three counts of raping a female over the age of 16 and committing a domestic assault between 1993 and 2001.
He had previously entered a guilty plea to 11 counts of indecent assault against a boy and four counts of indecency with a kid during the same timeframe.
Clive Penniall, aged 55, was exposed as an offender when one of his survivors reported the incident to the police.
During the course of the investigation another survivor of his abuse was identified, a woman who had been raped on a number of occasions by him.
DC Sara Turton, from the Public Protection Unit at West Midlands Police, said: “Clive Penniall subjected a child to years of repeated serious sexual abuse and raped a woman on a number of occasions. I am delighted he has received many years behind bars so that he can no longer pose a risk to the community.
“I would like to commend the survivors of Clive Penniall’s abuse, who found the courage to come forward and speak to us. Their bravery has brought him to justice and protected others from potential future crimes.”
The victims and all survivors of sexual assault are protected by law and have life long anonymity.
