West Midlands Man Sentenced to 18 Years for Neath Port Talbot Rapes

A 35-year-old man from Walsall has been sentenced to an extended 18-year prison term after being found guilty of two counts of rape committed in Cwmafan, Neath Port Talbot.

Johnathan Sutton, who had pleaded not guilty to the offences which took place in June and August 2021, was convicted at Swansea Crown Court this week. ⚖️

The crimes were committed at an address where Sutton was living at the time, with two different victims.

Detective Constable Gary Willis-Hill said:

“Johnathan Sutton was clearly a dangerous man who preyed upon victims when he felt he was in a position of control upon them.

“By pleading not guilty to these crimes, he has shown that he has no remorse for his actions, and the impact which his actions have had upon the lives and wellbeing of his victims.

“He is now going to be behind bars for a very considerable amount of time.”
