Simon Morgan, a rapist from Neath Port Talbot, has been incarcerated after being convicted of sexual and violent crimes. Simon Morgan, a 40-year-old from Neath, raped the victim in July 2021. He thereafter declined to vacate the victim’s residence for several hours until the victim contacted law enforcement.
In a distinct episode, subsequent to a verbal dispute, Simon Morgan propelled his victim onto the sofa and then to the floor. As the victim attempted to exit, Simon Morgan forcefully shoved them to the ground and repeatedly stomped on their skull.
Simon Morgan entered a plea of not guilty to allegations of rape, coercive controlling behaviour, and actual bodily harm, but was subsequently convicted following a trial in September 2024.
He has received a 14-year prison sentence.
Detective Inspector Sharon Gill-Lewis said:
“Simon Morgan waged a campaign of violence and terror upon his victim and knew at every stage that his behaviour was likely to have a serious effect on the victim’s wellbeing.
“For too long, the victim has lived in fear of Simon Morgan. We hope that the news that he will be in prison for a number of years will at least allow the victim some semblance of comfort as they try to recover from this terrible ordeal.
“I thank Detective Constable Emma Robbins for her tireless work towards this investigation, and in getting long-awaited justice for the victim.”
Women and girls are disproportionately the victims of violence and abuse, and can suffer at the hands of a partner, former partner, or family member and sometimes a stranger.
South Wales Police have worked with women and girls living in South Wales and through the See Me campaign have told their lived experiences. The campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage everyone to stand against all forms of abuse and hold perpetrators accountable so that we can ensure we have a society where women and girls are safe.
