Llandybie Man Jailed for 12 Years for Child Sex Offences

A Carmarthenshire man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping and sexually abusing two children, following their brave decision to come forward and report his crimes. 👮‍♀️

Lloyd Davies, 29, of Caecoed, Llandybie, received his sentence at Swansea Crown Court yesterday (Friday, May 9, 2025) after being found guilty of multiple serious sexual offences against two girls who were aged between six and 11 at the time.

The court heard that Davies first raped one victim while they played the computer game Minecraft when she was still in primary school. This detail proved crucial in court proceedings, providing additional credibility to the victims’ allegations.

One victim came forward in December 2022 after confiding in a friend and subsequently a college counsellor. Following Davies’ arrest, a second victim bravely reported that she had also been sexually abused by him when she was around nine years old.

Detective Sergeant Carl Pocock of Dyfed-Powys Police said: “This case is an important reminder that justice can still be served years after any abuse. I can assure any victim contemplating whether or not to come forward that a delay in reporting does not mean you will not be listened to or believed.”

He added: “Our specialist officers will listen and support you through the process, no matter how long ago the crime may have taken place. I hope this outcome demonstrates that it is never too late to speak out.”

The victims of this case wish to thank the police for the amazing support received throughout the process and would encourage others to come forward, reassuring victims that if they find the strength to come forward and talk, they will be listened to.

Davies was found guilty of three counts of raping a child under 13, two counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, sexual assault on a child under 13 and making a category A indecent image of a child.

DS Pocock also praised the victims: “Most importantly, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the two victims in this case, who have been extremely courageous in coming forward to police and recounting the trauma they suffered as young children.

“They have showed immense strength, character and resilience and should be proud of how they have conducted themselves throughout the investigation.

“It is thanks to their bravery that Lloyd Davies will now spend a significant spell in prison, making our communities a safer place. I hope today’s sentence will give some sense of closure and they can now try and move on with their lives.” ⚖️
