Oldbury Rapist
In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Oldbury, three young men have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms after being found guilty of heinous sexual offenses involving a schoolgirl. The incident took place outside a pub on the Lion Farm estate in Oldbury, where the victims and perpetrators crossed paths during a gathering last November.
According to court proceedings, Kumarlo McKoy, aged 20, a resident of Shinwell Crescent in Oldbury, and Donovan Reid, aged 18, of Ivy House, also in Oldbury, were convicted of both rape and sexual assault following a jury trial. Their actions occurred during a party held inside the Phoenix pub, a well-known local establishment, which was the backdrop for these serious crimes.
Joining them in the conviction was Rory Faulkner, aged 19, from Lower Chapel Street in Tividale. Faulkner was found guilty of sexual assault and was subsequently sentenced to six years in prison by Judge Nicholas Webb at Wolverhampton Crown Court. The judge did not mince words when addressing the severity of the offenses, stating, "The three of you sexually assaulted a young girl and she was subjected to a series of sexual acts."
Judge Webb emphasized the gravity of the situation, condemning the defendants for their actions that humiliated their underage victim. He expressed his belief that all three defendants were aware of her age at the time, which made their conduct even more reprehensible. The judge remarked, "You thought you would get away with it but you didn’t. The effect on her has been damaging."
In addition to their prison sentences, the judge ordered all three men to remain on the sex offenders’ register for the rest of their lives, underscoring the seriousness with which the court viewed their crimes. The defendants had all denied the charges during the trial, but the jury’s verdict confirmed their guilt.
During the proceedings, Miss Samantha Forsyth, representing Faulkner, highlighted his positive attributes, describing him as "academically bright" and noting that he was engaged in studies at Halesowen College at the time of the incident. Despite this, the court maintained its stance on the severity of the offenses committed outside the Oldbury pub, reflecting the community’s concern over the safety and well-being of its youth.
