1) Dago Williams
Dago Williams was jailed for nine years and six months for the attempted rape and sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl at a park in Solihull.
Williams, 22, had begun chatting to a group of teenagers on a bus towards Chelmsley Wood, on June 6 last year, where he told them that he had "a lot of money".
Williams got off the bus and stole cans of alcoholic drinks from a supermarket, which he then offered to the group.
Shortly after, he and one of the girls, the 17-year-old, sat on a park bench, where he tried to kiss her. After refusing, the girl attempted to leave; he then sexually assaulted and attempted to rape her.
The girl managed to escape Williams, and after getting safely to a friend's house, she called the police, and Williams was arrested.
Williams, of Hampton Road, Erdington, admitted attempted rape, sexual assault, intentional strangulation, assault and shop theft, and was jailed for nine years and six months at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday, February 17.
