Westwood, 24, of Holybush Road, Albrighton, was sentenced to 15 and a half years in prison for 26 sex crimes against five victims, four of whom were children when he attacked them, at Wolverhampton Crown Court. 

However, in the public gallery on Tuesday were two other females who claim they were raped by him but whose cases were not included in last autumn's four week trial. 

One claimed she was told by West Midlands Police they had lost her interviews and her case could not proceed.
