Overview
- Simon Tang was jailed for nine and a half years at Birmingham Crown Court following Monday's sentencing.
- The judge declared him a dangerous offender and imposed an extended three-year licence after release.
- He must serve two-thirds of the term in custody and remain on the sex offenders register for life.
- On May 5, 2025, after paying £20 in Walsall, Tang beat a sex worker with a baseball bat and raped her while pressing the bat on her back.
- Police arrested him the same day, recovered the bat from his car, and found videos of his encounters on his phone, as he denied rape and gave a false self‑defence account.
