A man has been jailed after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault.
Jason Bailey, 48, of Llanelli has been sentenced to six years in prison after appearing today (March 17) at Cardiff Crown Court. On December 5, Bailey was found guilty of rape and assault on a female which took place at a flat on August 28, 2023.
Detective Constable Ashley Colston said:
“Jason Bailey was under no illusion that the acts he carried out were illegal, yet he did so anyway.
“Bailey exploited a power imbalance and thrived off it.
“We commend the bravery of the victim who, by telling us what Bailey did, helped to secure this conviction and sentence.”
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.
