Serial rapist jailed for 30 years

West Mercia Police said the 31-year-old carried out the crimes between 2011 and 2022 against six females

A man has been jailed for 30 years for a series of rapes and sexual offences, including attacks against children, carried out in a period lasting more than a decade.

Connor Chambers, from Calverton in Nottingham, was found guilty of 19 sexual offences across Worcestershire and Birmingham, 11 of which were rape.

West Mercia Police said the 31-year-old committed the crimes between 2011 and 2022 against six female victims.

Two of six offences relating to those under the age of 13 included rape.

Chambers was found guilty following a three-week trial and was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on Friday.

He will serve a further six years on licence.

Det Con Atoosa Nasri from West Mercia Police said: "We welcome the sentence given to Chambers by the judge, but no sentence can ever take away the lifelong trauma he caused his victims.

"Chambers is a highly dangerous individual who preyed on females."

Det Con Beverley Hamilton added: "I would like to commend his victims for coming forward and reporting these crimes, it takes great courage and strength, and I would like to thank them for their bravery throughout the investigation and trial."
