Uncle and nephew jailed for raping children in Birmingham

An uncle and nephew from Birmingham have both received jail sentences today (15 May) for sexual crimes against children.

Paedophiles Adam and Wayne Judd have been jailed for more than 17 years after admitting their guilt.

The disturbing rapes against children came to light when Adam Judd, 26, was already serving a prison sentence for sexual offences that he was sentenced for in 2014 following an investigation by West Midlands Police.

Adam was due for release when he confessed further crimes to a cell mate. He said he was tired of holding it back and wrote a letter in 2017 detailing offences he had committed against his victims between 2011 – 2014.

The letter identified two further victims who had not been part of the original investigation, so police visited them to give them the opportunity to report the crimes against them.

This led to detectives from the Public Protection Unit interviewing Adam Judd and also his uncle, Wayne Judd, although the latter denied any wrong-doing.

Statements were taken from the women, who were both underage at the time of the sexual abuse, and enough evidence was built up to charge the uncle and nephew.

On 3 April 2023 they appeared at Birmingham Crown Court where 26-year-old Adam Judd pleaded guilty to 11 counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault.

His uncle Wayne Judd, aged 30 from Marston Road, Weoley Castle, pleaded guilty to four counts of rape.

Wayne was sentenced to 11-and-a-half years and his nephew, Adam Judd, was sentenced to 5-years-and-nine months – a reduced term due to the 7-year sentence that passed in 2014.

Detective Constable Adam McHugh, said: “I commend the courage of the women who relived their abuse in telling us what happened to them.

“We have specialist officers who can help through every step of the way. We also work with a raft of partner agencies and charities who can give on-going support.

“I would ask anyone who is suffering or has suffered sexual abuse and not been able to talk about it, to seek help. We are here for you.”
