A Paedophile from Ammanford, Lloyd Davies, convicted of raping and sexually abusing two youngsters, will serve a 12-year prison sentence, attributed to the bravery of his victims.
Lloyd Davies, 29, from Caecoed, Llandybie, received a 12-year prison sentence at Swansea Crown Court today, May 9, 2025.
His victims, both female, were aged from six to eleven years at the time of the assaults.
One of Lloyd Davies’ victims courageously reported the crimes to the authorities in December 2022 after confiding in a friend and subsequently a college counsellor.
The court was informed that Lloyd Davies initially assaulted her when they were playing the computer game, Minecraft, during her primary school years. The importance of the computer game and testimonies from both the victim and the defendant, Lloyd Davies, were crucial in the court processes, enhancing the strength and believability of the victim’s charges, ultimately resulting in a unanimous guilty decision.
The victim endured four additional instances of sexual assault and rape perpetrated by Lloyd Davies. She acknowledged that it had affected her youth and that her anxiety originated from years of abuse and the concealment of the truth.
Subsequent to Lloyd Davies’ apprehension, a second victim reported to the authorities. She stated that she had been sexually assaulted by him at approximately nine years of age.
Dyfed-Powys Police conducted an investigation that culminated in Lloyd Davies being convicted of three counts of raping a child under 13, two counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, sexual assault on a child under 13, and the creation of a category A indecent image of a child, during his appearance at Swansea Crown Court on March 26, 2025.
Following Lloyd Davies’ imprisonment, Detective Sergeant Carl Pocock of Dyfed-Powys Police stated:
“This case is an important reminder that justice can still be served years after any abuse. I can assure any victim contemplating whether or not to come forward that a delay in reporting does not mean you will not be listened to or believed.
“Our specialist officers will listen and support you through the process, no matter how long ago the crime may have taken place. I hope this outcome demonstrates that it is never too late to speak out.
“A comprehensive police investigation by Detective Constable Katie Rees resulted in a number of charges being authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service. DC Rees provided expert support for the victims and their families throughout the investigation, providing them with the confidence to proceed and provide evidence in court.
“Most importantly, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the two victims in this case, who have been extremely courageous in coming forward to police and recounting the trauma they suffered as young children.
“They have showed immense strength, character and resilience and should be proud of how they have conducted themselves throughout the investigation.
“It is thanks to their bravery that Lloyd Davies will now spend a significant spell in prison, making our communities a safer place. I hope today’s sentence will give some sense of closure and they can now try and move on with their lives.”
The victims of this case wish to thank the police for the amazing support received throughout the process and would encourage others to come forward, reassuring victims that if they find the strength to come forward and talk, they will be listened to.
