Neath Man Jailed for 14 Years After Rape Conviction

A 40-year-old man from Neath Port Talbot has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after being found guilty of rape and violent offences. ⚖️

Simon Morgan, from Neath, raped his victim in July 2021 and refused to leave the victim’s address for several hours until police were called.

In a separate incident, following a verbal altercation, Morgan threw his victim onto the sofa and onto the floor. As the victim attempted to leave, Morgan pushed them to the floor and stamped on their head several times.

Morgan pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, coercive controlling behaviour and ABH but was found guilty after trial in September 2024.

Detective Inspector Sharon Gill-Lewis said: “Simon Morgan waged a campaign of violence and terror upon his victim and knew at every stage that his behaviour was likely to have a serious effect on the victim’s wellbeing.

“For too long, the victim has lived in fear of Simon Morgan. We hope that the news that he will be in prison for a number of years will at least allow the victim some semblance of comfort as they try to recover from this terrible ordeal.

“I thank Detective Constable Emma Robbins for her tireless work towards this investigation, and in getting long-awaited justice for the victim.”
