A 30-year-old man who attacked a woman walking alone at night in Swansea has been jailed for eight years.
Mohangopi Tadiboyina, of Brynmill, was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court on Friday September 4 for attempted rape and sexual assault. He had been found guilty of both counts following a three-day trial in July.
The attack
The offences took place on Kings Road, Swansea, in October 2024. South Wales Police said Tadiboyina targeted the woman while she was on her own, walking the street after dark.
She managed to get away from him and alerted a passer-by, who helped her report what had happened.
Police response
Detective Sergeant Samuel Lewis said: “PC Bendrey led a thorough and professional investigation, ensuring that all available lines of enquiry were pursued. As a result of her diligence and commitment, Tadiboyina will now serve a significant time in prison
“This outcome represents an excellent result and demonstrates the significant impact of PC Bendrey’s work. Not only has justice been secured for the victim, but a dangerous offender has been removed from the community, providing reassurance to both the victim and the wider public.
“The victim has expressed how pleased she is with the sentence imposed and has conveyed her gratitude for the efforts of everyone involved in the investigation.”
