Swansea man jailed for rape and sexual offences

 

A man from Swansea has been jailed following conviction for rape and sexual assault.

37-year-old Daniel Blight, from Bonymaen, raped his victim while they were asleep, with the victim only finding out later after reviewing home security footage.

He has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Detective Constable Elizabeth Picton said:

“Daniel Blight preyed upon his victim when they were completely helpless, but was crucially caught on camera in critical evidence for his conviction.

“At South Wales Police we relentlessly pursue the perpetrators of sexual offences and ensure that the victims receive justice. It takes great bravery for a victim to report a sexual offence, and this behaviour will never be tolerated.”
