April 2014 Jury returns mixed verdicts in the case of man accused of sexual assaults and child rape A JURY has returned mixed verdicts in the case of a Birmingham man accused of raping a young girl and sexually assaulting another near Liskeard. Kevin Wells, 30, went on trial at Truro Crown Court last Monday accused of a series of sexual offences against the two girls, who cannot be named for legal reasons. On Friday, a jury found him guilty of three counts of indecently assaulting the younger of the two girls and two of indecency with her when she was a child. Wells was acquitted of one count of indecent assault in relation to her and four counts of raping her. He was also found not guilty of two charges of indecently assaulting the older girl. Wells, of Cock Hill Lane, Rubery, Birmingham, who denied all the charges, told the jury there was “never anything sexual” between him and either girl. Lee Bremridge, for the Crown Prosecution Service, previously told the jury that Wells was aged 15 or 16 to 18 at the time of the offences which were said to have taken place on dates between December 1997 and November 2001. Wells is due to be sentenced at Truro Crown Court on Monday afternoon.
