Three men arrested as part of ongoing investigation in to child sexual exploitation

Three men were arrested last week as part of an ongoing investigation in to child sexual exploitation (CSE).

Warrants were conducted at four addresses in the Porthcawl and Pyle areas, led by South Wales Police’s exploitation team and supported by neighbourhood, organised crime and territorial support teams.

Men aged 24, 35 and 32 were arrested on suspicion of trafficking, sexual offences and drug offences, and a large quantity of cash and powder, was seized. The substance is being forensically tested.  A number of mobile phones were also seized and are currently being examined by our Digital Forensics & Cyber Crime Unit.

The three are currently on conditional bail pending further inquiries.

We are committed to tackling CSE – bringing those responsible to justice and safeguarding victims.
