Gary Hayes, the Rhondda Cynon Taf Paedophile, has been sentenced sixteen years for sexually abusing children. Between April 2002 and September 2016 Gary Hayes, 61, of Garth Street, Taff’s Well, was found guilty of indecent and sexual assault of four children, all under the age of thirteen.
Gary Hayes’ sentencing called for the following:
- 16 years in prison
- Registered sex offender for life
- Indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order
- Indefinite restraining orders against all four victims
Detective Inspector Owain Morrison said:
“Firstly, my thoughts remain with the victims and their families, having gone through such a terrible ordeal.
“Gary Hayes systematically abused children who should have been able to trust him, and his sentence reflects the gravity of his offending and the harm that he caused.
“These investigations can take time, and I want to commend the victims in this case for their patience, bravery, and courage while the investigation was ongoing.
“Child sexual abuse is often a hidden crime, and we work hard to ensure that the voice of the child is heard. I hope this sentence sends a strong message that we will pursue all available lines of enquiry to ensure we bring justice to victims of serious sexual and indecent assaults.”
