Overview
- A jury convicted Adam Sherwood in March of four counts of sexual touching of boys under 13 and a judge sentenced him to two years and six months in prison on June 19.
- West Midlands Police found Sherwood abused his position of trust while tutoring a pupil at his Moseley home and also touched a boy at a Birmingham climbing centre.
- The offences are said to have occurred in 2019 and 2023, and the court ordered Sherwood to be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
- When arrested and interviewed, Sherwood denied the touching was sexual and offered alternative explanations for his conduct, but those claims were rejected at trial.
- DC Sarah Toye, who led the Complex Child Abuse Investigation team, praised the two boys for attending court and giving evidence and said the outcome reflected a full police inquiry.
