'Gross breach of trust': Walsall teaching assistant jailed for sexual abuse of disabled boys in his care
'Dangerous' Walsall teaching assistant Daniel Clarke has been jailed for his sickening sexual abuse of disabled children spanning 11 years.
Hours after unmasking Clarke by allowing the press to reveal his identity, Justice Michael Chambers KC sentenced him to seven and a half years.
Branding Clarke "a danger to young, vulnerable boys" Judge Chambers also placed the 28-year-old paedophile on the sexual harm register for the rest of his life.
Clarke, of Signal Grove, Bloxwich, pleaded guilty to nine counts of various sexual abuse and to making indecent images of children. The charges concern Clarke's abuse of six young boys between May 2013 and September last year, when a complaint helped bring an end to his crimes.
When detectives raided his home they found sickening videos of his abuse and twisted mementoes of each of his victims.
