Staffordshire man convicted of sexual offences
Following a three-week trial the jury unanimously convicted him of three counts of rape.
A man has been convicted of a series of sexual, violent and coercive offences against a woman.
Clinton Booth, aged 48 from Kidsgrove, was found guilty at Shrewsbury Crown Court on October 27.
The offences took place between 2019 and 2025.
Following a three-week trial the jury unanimously convicted him of three counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and five counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was also found guilty of dangerous driving, inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent, assault by beating and engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour.
PC Flood, of the Newcastle-under-Lyme local policing team, said: "I would like to thank the victim for the immense courage, resilience and patience she has shown throughout this investigation and the court process.
"While these guilty verdicts cannot undo the trauma she has experienced, I hope they provide a sense of justice and reassurance that we remain committed to tackling violence against women and girls, supporting victims and bringing offenders to justice.”
Booth is due to be sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court on December 21.
