Carvel Bennett receives 11-year sentence at Birmingham crown court for raping 13-year-old in 1970s
A rapist whose 13-year-old victim became pregnant in the 1970s has been jailed for 11 years, decades after the crime, following a successful prosecution pursued by the daughter conceived during the attack.
Carvel Bennett, 74, was found guilty of the rape of the teenager at Birmingham crown court on Monday after a three-day trial. She was at his home when the rape occurred because she had been asked to babysit his children.
