A PENCOED man has been jailed for six years for sexual assault.
Adrian Russell Coxon, 48, was arrested in November 2021 after South Wales Police (SWP) received a report from the victim of the assault.
Coxon appeared in court on Thursday, 2nd May, where he was sentenced to six years in prison for sexual assault by penetration and supply of Class C drugs. He was also made to sign onto the Sex Offenders Register and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
Detective Constable Rebecca Evans said: “Whilst no sentence will make up for the impact he has had on the victim, I hope the conclusion of this lengthy court process will allow them to move forward with their life in the knowledge that speaking out has uncovered Adrian Coxon as the sexual offender he is.
“I would like to thank the victim for their support and immense bravery throughout the investigation. We know how hard it is to approach the police, especially when reporting a crime of this nature, and I hope this sentencing today will provide a small measure of comfort to them.
“Our focus for this case, as with every sexual offence case, is securing justice for the victim-survivor and I would encourage others to report sexual assault to us.
“We know the devastating impact that sexual offences can have. We take reports of sexual assault very seriously and will always treat reports of this nature with the confidentiality and sensitivity they deserve.”
An SWP spokesperson said: “If you’ve been raped or sexually assaulted, we’re here for you. If you’re ready to, you can report rape and sexual assault to us online here.
“But if you don’t want to talk to us, or if you want extra support, there are lots of people who can help. You’re in control, and it’s up to you who you talk to and what help you get. You can speak to these people and organisations privately and confidentially, and unless they think someone is in serious danger, they won’t share anything with us. Visit here.
