Peter Jenkins – also known as Peter Greenham – admitted to historical assaults on young girls, which dated back to the 1980s, West Midlands Police said. He used his position of power and trust to abuse them DC Gemma Rowan Detective Constable Gemma Rowan said the victims, now all adults, were treated with sensitivity as they had to be contacted “out of the blue”. “It is testimony to the strength and power of these women that they supported this successful prosecution and have now been able to see Jenkins locked up for many years.” One of Jenkins’ victims he befriended while he was still studying at university while another he abused after becoming a school teacher. “He used his position of power and trust to abuse them.” She said the effects of abuse had “long-lasting and scarring effects” which were hugely traumatic, adding police worked with specialist agencies who could properly support victims of sexual abuse.
