Description

A man from Swansea has been jailed after being found guilty of multiple counts of sexual assault.

71-year-old Stewart Read, from Gorseinon, intentionally touched two separate victims on multiple occasions.

He was ultimately found guilty of nine counts of sexual assault on a female victim.

Read has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

Detective Constable Sarah Cook said:

“Stewart Read is clearly an incredibly dangerous man who repeatedly lays his hands on women in a sexual manner without their consent.

“He obviously derived a sick pleasure from what he was doing, and his not guilty pleas show that there is absolutely no remorse in him.

“It is absolutely right that he spends multiple years in prison.

“The victims have shown great courage and resilience throughout this process, and I want to thank them for coming forward and helping South Wales Police to put a dangerous individual in prison.”
