The TRA panel heard that Jenkins had been sentenced to seven offences of indecent assault on a female under 14, two offences of intercourse with a girl under 13 and one offence of sexual assault.<\/p>\n
He had also admitted three offences of gross indecency with a child under 16, one offence of rape and one offence of attempted indecent assault on a female under 16. <\/p>\n
At a Warwick Crown Court hearing in July 2022 he pleaded guilty to the offences against five victims between 1984 and 2005.<\/p>\n
Jenkins taught at Whitecross High School. The professional conduct panel heard he “accepted that some of the offending involved pupils he taught”.<\/p>\n
The offences predated he and his wife’s association with St Helen’s Church in Solihull where, in 2022, Greenham was still a vicar.<\/p>\n
There is no evidence of any criminal behaviour connected to the church. <\/p>\n
With regard to her silence over her husband’s actions, her removal from public office, in addition to “Prohibition from Ministry for life”, reflected “the severity of the misconduct”, said the Diocese of Birmingham at the time. <\/p>\n
