The 55-year-old Phillip Blackwell, who participated in the british edition of ‘X Factor’ in 2008, has today at the court of Warwick in England declared guilty of all 31 sexual abuse, including 13 rapes that have been committed over three decades.
Together, the nine female victims were subjected to sexual abuse by Phillip Blackwell in a period of 22 years.
It writes multiple media including Metro, the Birmingham Mail, as well as Warwickshire Police.
The sexual assault was committed in Nuneaton, Warks and Birmingham in the endings of the 1990s as well as in Cornwall in the period from 2005 to 2019. Both before and after his participation in the ‘X Factor’ in 2008.

Inspector Caroline Corfield said the following about the case:
Blackwell has made sexual assault in a very large scale. It is quite clear that he is a dangerous and manipulative sexual predator. He has inflicted great harm and misfortune to its victims, solely to satisfy his own sexual desires. He is a very dangerous man for women.
The 55-year-old Phillip Blackwell will receive his final judgment in the case of the 27. July. And there is no doubt that there will be a long-term prison sentence.
When Phillip Blackwell 12 years ago in 2008 participated in the X Factor, he had already committed several sexual assaults. It had the ‘X Factor’-the production, however, no knowledge of.
The then-43-year-old participant received lots of attention and was briefly a familiar face in England due to his strange audition. Phillip Blackwell song: a strange version of the band Spandau ballet’s track ‘Gold’, where he held the final note in the song in around 30 seconds.
It made headlines in the media. The three judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh, however, was in no way excited for Phillip Blackwells bizarre number. He was voted out with the same.
