Lifetime Sex Offender Registration
On top of his prison term, Njumbe has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life. This means he’ll be under close police watch when he’s released.
Police Praise Survivor’s Bravery
PC Joshua Whitehurst from Staffordshire Police’s rape and serious sexual offences unit slammed the attacks as “cruel sexual violence.”
“I am pleased that today justice has been served. I want to thank the survivor for their courage and trust in coming forward and supporting us with our investigation,” PC Whitehurst said.
“I hope this sentence sends two very clear messages: if you are a victim of sexual abuse, we will listen to you and we will work tirelessly to achieve justice for you. If you are a sex offender, we will find you and we will take robust action to put you behind bars for as long as possible.”
