A man from Beddau has been jailed after a jury found him guilty of rape.
Kyle Plummer, 32, raped his victim at a property in Beddau in 2023. Plummer pleaded not guilty to one count of rape but was found guilty after a three-day trial at Cardiff Crown Court in April.
He has been handed an extended sentence of six years and six months in prison and given a 10-year restraining order.
Detective Constable Davies said:
“I would like to thank the victim in this case for coming forward and for being courageous throughout the process of this investigation. Because of her, we have been able to convict a man who is clearly a threat to women. I can only hope that this helps her to move on from this in a more positive way and gain some form of closure.
“If you are the victim of a sexual offence, we urge you to report it to the police as soon as possible. You will be supported, and officers will treat all reports with sensitivity and professionalism.”
We never underestimate how difficult it is for survivors of sexual abuse to speak out and report.
But we hope cases like this one provide reassurance that victims will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and will be supported throughout the judicial process.
If you have been sexually abused, and you are not yet ready to report to police, please don’t suffer in silence. A wealth of information and details of support services can be found here.
