Record details
A man from Maesteg has been jailed for multiple sexual offences following a South Wales Police investigation.
Christopher Williams, 73, from Maesteg, was jailed for 11 years and nine months and given a restraining order when he appeared before Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday, October 21.
Williams pleaded guilty to nine counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 14, two counts of inciting a girl under 14 years of age to commit an act of gross indecency, one count of an offender 18 or over engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl under 13, one count of an offender 18 or over engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity with a girl under 13, one count of attempting to have sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and one count of indecent assault on a woman over 16 years of age.
These offences spanned a 30-year period and involved multiple victims.
Detective Constable Benjamin Lewis said:
“It took an unbelievable amount of strength and courage for Christopher Williams’ victims to confide in someone else about the crimes he carried out upon them, especially with so many years having passed in between.
“This was a long and complex investigation which has finally resulted in Williams being brought to justice, and the severity of his offending is reflected in the size of his sentence.”
