A man from Swansea has been handed an extended jail sentence after he was found guilty of rape and assault.
22-year-old Tristan Williams, from Swansea city centre, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, was ultimately found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of assault by beating and one count of voyeurism after he recorded a sexual act without the victim’s consent. The offences took place on September 11 2025.
Due to the commission of the new offences, the defendant was in breach of a 12-month community order dated June 5 2025. He has been made subject of a restraining order against the victim and is required to register with the police in accordance with the Sexual Offences Act 2003 indefinitely.
Williams has been given an extended sentence of 13 years in prison.
Detective Inspector Meirian Evans said:
“This was a horrendous sexual attack carried out against the victim by a man with previous offences of great concern despite his young age.
“Tristan Williams is clearly a man who is very dangerous to women and was likely to offend again. This sentence should be seen as a message both to those sexual predators of the severe consequences for their actions, and to the victims of sexual crime who will see the full weight of the law come down upon a perpetrator.
“We commend the victim on her bravery in coming forward and hope that this sentence is a key factor in helping her move on with her life.”
