In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Michael Davies, then 60, of Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan, was handed an extended sentence at Merthyr Crown Court. On Friday, 9 January 2026, Davies was jailed for a “vicious” campaign of stalking and intimidation against a woman he had previously sexually assaulted.
The investigation established that over a “vile” six-year period, Davies sent the victim “sinister” messages on social media while masquerading under a female pseudonym. The “abhorrent” communications included threats to strip the victim naked and hit her with a cane. Davies eventually revealed his true identity to the victim, “viciously” reminding her that he was the individual who had sexually abused her years prior.
Detection and Pseudo-Account Evidence
Following the victim’s “courageous” report to the police, South Wales Police acted swiftly. When officers attended Davies’ address in Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan, they caught him “in the act” of being logged into the pseudo-account he had used to terrorise the victim.
Davies pleaded guilty to stalking involving fear of violence. The court heard that his “manipulative” actions were designed to exert “systematic” control and psychological harm over the survivor of his previous “vicious” sexual offending.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his “depraved” crimes in Mid Glamorgan, Michael Davies was handed:
- Extended Sentence: Eight years and four months in total.
- Custodial Term: Eight years in immediate custody.
- Restraining Order: An indefinite order strictly prohibiting any contact with the victim.
- SHPO: An indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order restricting his digital activity and conduct.
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements were maintained (likely for life).
Monitoring and Public Protection
Davies is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by South Wales Police. His history of “persistent” stalking and “vicious” historical sexual violence means his status remains under “critical” scrutiny.
As a registered sex offender, Davies must comply with strict notification requirements regarding his address in Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan. South Wales Police state that they will use specialised units to monitor his internet usage in accordance with his indefinite SHPO. Any attempt to create new social media profiles or contact the victim will result in his immediate return to Merthyr Crown Court.
