Swansea man jailed for 30 years for child sex offences
Adam Davies, 36, of Odo Street, Hafod, was described by a judge as a “manipulative and predatory” paedophile who posed a significant risk to children.
Offending spanned years
Swansea Crown Court heard Davies sexually abused two young girls on multiple occasions and repeatedly raped a young boy over a period of years. The offending first came to light in 2023 when one of the girls confided in someone she trusted about what had happened when she was younger. Police launched an investigation and further victims were identified.
When officers seized Davies’s laptop, they discovered indecent images of children, adding to the weight of evidence against him. Despite this, Davies denied all allegations and the case went to trial in October this year.
Convictions and sentence
Jurors found Davies guilty of a long list of offences, including rape, assault by penetration, sexual assault, and causing children to engage in sexual acts. He was also convicted of possessing indecent images of children.
Judge Catherine Richards said she had “no doubt” Davies was a dangerous offender who posed a significant risk of causing serious harm to children. She described him as “manipulative and determined” and told the court that his behaviour had left lasting scars on his victims.
Davies was handed a 30‑year extended sentence, comprising 26 years in custody followed by four years on licence. He must serve at least two‑thirds of the custodial term before the Parole Board considers release. He will remain on the sex offenders register for life and is subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Police statement
Detective Constable Stacey Jones, South Wales Police, said:
“Adam Davies’s offending is some of the worst of its kind we have seen in Swansea. He disgustingly took advantage of multiple children to act out vile acts for his own depraved sexual pleasure.
“He is of an immeasurable danger to children, and the streets are far safer for young people now that he has been sent to prison for a hugely significant sentence. He showed no remorse and took no responsibility for what he has done.
“We pay tribute to the immense bravery of the victims who have come forward, and hope that they are now able to move on with their lives safe in the knowledge that Adam Davies cannot access them anymore.”
Support for survivors
South Wales Police said anyone affected by this case can contact them via 101, quoting reference 62WN0407323. Survivors of sexual abuse will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and supported throughout the judicial process.
