Birmingham Mail
|July 10, 2025
A 65-YEAR-OLD predator who raped a teenage girl has been sentenced to 24 years in prison.
-
Carl Houldey, from Tipton, was found guilty of four counts of rape and a number of other sexual offences at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
He was arrested after police were contacted by the girl alongside members of her family - when she reported that she had been attacked.
Police officers gathered forensic analysis of Houldey's clothing and phone.
A judge yesterday ordered him to serve a minimum of 16 years of a 24-year prison sentence before he's eligible for parole.
