A rapist who admitted a string of offences including - rape, assault, and causing a child to watch a sexual act has been sentenced to 21 years. Thirty-three-year-old Talha Ahmadzai, of Haverfordwest, was jailed on Monday, March 16 at Swansea Crown Court, after pleading guilty to a number of offences at a previous hearing in November.

The offences were as follows:

The offences took place in February last year, and relate to three victims, a woman, along with one girl and a boy.

The sentence in total was 19 years and seven months in custody, with a two-year licence period, as well as Ahmadzai being made the subject of a restraining order which indefinitely prohibits him from having any contact with his victims.

Detective Inspector Sarah Totterdale, of North Pembrokeshire CID, said: “Ahmadzai is clearly an incredibly dangerous and cruel individual, and the sentence he has received reflects this.

“I would like to commend the bravery and dignity shown by his victims, who courageously gave their evidence of their horrendous ordeals. To do so and relive their experience must have been incredibly traumatic. They have received the appropriate support and safeguarding through strategy discussions with partner agencies.

“Thanks to their evidence, and all the hard work from our team of detectives, we were able to secure a charging decision on Ahmadzai, and he has now been sentenced to a lengthy prison term where he is no longer a danger to the public. The investigation team should be commended for the professionalism and momentum in obtaining this result.”
