A man from the West Midlands has been jailed after he was found guilty of two counts of rape which were committed in South Wales.
35-year-old Johnathan Sutton, from Walsall, pleaded not guilty to the offences, which took place in June and August 2021 in Cwmafan, near port Talbot, at an address where Sutton was living at the time.
However, he was found guilty at Swansea Crown Court, and has been sentenced this week.
He was handed an extended 18-year sentence for two counts of rape against 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.”
