Dean Bradley, a 36-year-old paedophile from Neath, sexually attacked his victim over a period of one year. The victim mustered the courage to reveal the egregious abuse to a family member at the closing of the previous year.
Following his change of plea from not guilty to guilty, Dean Bradley was convicted of three charges of child assault involving penetration of a minor under the age of 13, as well as three counts of causing a minor under 13 to observe or view an image depicting sexual behaviour.
On Monday, June 23, 2025, Dean Bradley was sentenced to 12 years and 8 months in jail at Swansea Crown Court and will be permanently registered as a sex offender. He will also be subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a Restraining Order.
Detective Constable James Carver said: “Dean Bradley carried out a horrific attack against a defenceless child.
We commend the bravery of the victim in having the courage to speak up, having lived with this awful experience. We hope that they will no longer have to live in fear of Dean Bradley.”
