Adam Davies sexually abused two young girls on multiple occasions and repeatedly raped a young boy in a course of offending which lasted for years.

A judge at Swansea Crown Court said she had no doubt 36-year-old Davies was a dangerous offender who posed a significant risk to children and she made him subject to a 30-year extended sentence.

The court heard the offending came to light when one of the females he abused confided in someone she trusted about what had happened when she was younger.

The police began an investigation and further victims were identified.
