⚠️ Content Warning: Disturbing subject matter, please read with care
📍 Location: Walsall and Wolverhampton areas, West Midlands
📅 Incidents ran for nearly ten years. Investigation started in 2017 and reporting restrictions lifted April 5 after trials finished
This case is known as Operation Satchel and it is one of the largest and most shocking West Midlands Police have ever handled. Twenty one people were convicted of terrible crimes against seven children up to twelve years old. Detectives described what happened as systematic cruel and the most harrowing they had ever worked on. It all came to light in 2017 after one victim was taken to hospital. Together the sentences add up to more than 145 years in prison including one life sentence. Seventeen were sentenced already and four more will find out their fate soon. The court kept details quiet until the last trial ended so now the whole truth can finally be shown.
Most importantly we honor these brave children who found the strength to come forward and tell the truth. That is what real change is built on.
