Charles Falk & Edward Renvoize successfully prosecute paedophile following a ‘campaign of rape’

Charles Falk & Edward Renvoize recently concluded a successful prosecution which garnered national press interest. Paul Chisnall was arrested in May 2017 after police received information about the historical sex abuse of two girls between 2002 and 2010. More victims, including three more girls and a boy aged between six and 13, came forward after the initial disclosures were made.

Following a four week trial at Cambridge Crown Court, Chisnall was convicted of 30 sexual offences involving five girls and a boy aged between six and 13. The offences spanned nearly two decades and he made “blackmail-type threats” to stop one victim from reporting it. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with a further eight years on licence after his release.

An NSPCC spokeswoman said: “The courageous survivors of this vile abuse have stopped a depraved predator after years of committing sickening crimes.”
