Swansea Crown Court heard how 40-year-old Simon Morgan, from Neath, raped his victim in July 2021. He then refused to leave the victim’s address for several hours until the victim called police.

In a separate incident, following a verbal altercation, Morgan threw his victim onto the sofa and onto the floor. As the victim tried to leave, Morgan pushed them to the floor and stamped on their head several times.

Morgan pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, coercive controlling behaviour and ABH but was found guilty after trial in September 2024.

Following a sentencing hearing, he will now face 14 years in prison.

Detective Inspector Sharon Gill-Lewis from South Wales Police said: “Simon Morgan waged a campaign of violence and terror upon his victim and knew at every stage that his behaviour was likely to have a serious effect on the victim’s wellbeing.

“For too long, the victim has lived in fear of Simon Morgan. We hope that the news that he will be in prison for a number of years will at least allow the victim some semblance of comfort as they try to recover from this terrible ordeal.

“I thank Detective Constable Emma Robbins for her tireless work towards this investigation, and in getting long-awaited justice for the victim.”
