A MAN HAS been jailed for rape and sexual assault of a teenager in Coventry over a decade ago.
Simon Tyler was sentenced on November 27, after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in Coventry and elsewhere in the country.
The offences which took place over 10 years were investigated by West Midlands Police after a woman came forward to tell her story.
Tyler from Kenilworth, 38, was identified and arrested in 2022 after the girl, now woman, came forward and reported the offences to our officers.
Tyler was jailed for nine years and will be on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
When someone make a report, a specialist officer will arrange to visit them and explain options about making a formal complaint and what might happen in an investigation.
Officers do everything they can to gather evidence and build a case, no matter how long ago the crime took place.
