A man from Swansea has been handed an extended 30-year prison sentence after being found guilty of a significant number of child sex offences.

36-year-old Adam Davies, from Hafod, committed these offences against multiple victims over a period spanning numerous years.

In July 2023, one of Davies’ victims made an allegation that she was sexually assaulted by Davies when she was younger. The offences against this victim and a second victim took place over a number of years. Both girls were under 13 at the time of the abuse.

As part of the investigation into this allegation, Davies’s devices were seized and Category A, B and C child sexual abuse images were located on his laptop.

In April 2025, a male victim also disclosed that he was sexually abused by Davies between the ages of 6-8.

Davies pleaded not guilty to a long list of offences, but was ultimately found guilty in court of:

• Rape of a child under 13 (four counts)
• Assault of a child under 13 by penetration (two counts)
• Sexual assault of a child under 13 (seven counts)
• Sexual assault (two counts)
• Sexual activity with a child (one count)
• Causing/inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity (two counts)
• Possession of indecent photographs of a child – category A, B and C (three counts)

Davies has been handed a 30-year extended jail sentence of which 26 years will be spent in custody. He will serve a minimum of 18 years

He will be a registered sex offender for life and is subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

Detective Constable Stacey Jones said: 

“Adam Davies’s offending is some of the worst of its kind we have seen in Swansea. He disgustingly took advantage of multiple children to act out vile acts for his own depraved sexual pleasure. 

“He is of an immeasurable danger to children, and the streets are far safer for young people now that he has been sent to prison for a hugely significant sentence. He showed no remorse and took no responsibility for what he has done.

“Adam Davies did not give one thought to how his offending would affect his victims’ lives, both mentally and physically. We pay tribute to the immense bravery of the victims who have come forward, and hope that they are now able to move on with their lives safe in the knowledge that Adam Davies cannot access them anymore.”

We never underestimate how difficult it is for survivors of sexual abuse to speak out and report.

But we hope cases like this one provide reassurance that victims will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and will be supported throughout the judicial process.

If you have been sexually abused, and you are not yet ready to report to police, please don’t suffer in silence. A wealth of information and details of support services can be found here.
