A PENARTH man who carried out a series of sexual offences against a child has been sentenced to 21 years in jail.
Perry McCarthy, 65, appeared at a sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, 2nd May, where he was told he will serve a minimum of 14 years before being considered for parole.
The victim had informed her teachers about the abuse that began when she was of primary school age.
McCarthy had denied the offences but was found guilty of six counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, four counts of voyeurism, three counts of oral rape of a child, one count of engaging in sexual activity with a child, one count of digital penetration, and one count of sexual assault by touching.
South Wales Police (SWP) Detective Constable Joanna Cecerko said: “I want to commend the victim for her courage in coming forward – thanks to her report and support from her family, justice has been served.
“It has been a traumatic time for everyone involved and I am hopeful the outcome at court brings the victim and her family some comfort which they deserve.”
