    A man from Neath Port Talbot has been jailed for multiple sexual assaults and possession of indecent images.

    65-year-old John Charles, from Briton Ferry, was only identified when his child victim confided in a teacher at school.

    Five Category A indecent images of children were later found on Charles’s laptop.

    He has been sentenced to ten years in prison at Swansea Crown Court.

    Detective Constable Sophie Davies said:

    “John Charles totally took advantage of his defenceless child victim to carry out a series of abhorrent sexual assaults.

    “He clearly posed a huge risk to others, particularly children, so it is right that he has been sent to prison for a long period of time.”
