A 22-year-old from Swansea city centre has been given an extended prison sentence of 13 years after being convicted of multiple sexual offences and an assault.

The offences

Tristan Williams carried out the attacks on September 11, 2025. Among the offences was voyeurism, after he recorded a sexual act without the victim’s consent.

The verdict

Williams had denied all charges against him. He was ultimately found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of assault by beating, and one count of voyeurism.

Previous offending

At the time of the offences, Williams was already subject to a 12-month community order that had been imposed on June 5, 2025. His conviction means he was found to be in breach of that order.

Sentencing and orders

The court imposed an extended sentence of 13 years in prison. Williams was also made subject to a restraining order protecting the victim and is required to sign the sex offenders’ register indefinitely under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

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.”
