South Wales Police said 40‑year‑old Simon Morgan, of Groves Road, Neath, was found guilty of raping a woman in 2015 — an offence that happened years before he was jailed in 2025 for a separate campaign of violence, coercive control and rape against another victim.
The force said Morgan’s latest conviction means he will now spend almost a quarter of a century in prison, after a judge ruled he poses a “significant risk” of causing serious harm to the public.
Police said the 2015 rape was not reported at the time. According to evidence heard in court, Morgan pushed the woman to the floor, strangled and kicked her, took her phone and then raped her. The victim told the court she had tried to block out what happened as a “coping mechanism” and said she continues to suffer nightmares.
South Wales Police said Morgan’s offending shows a pattern of “sexual and violent” behaviour.
Rape Investigation Team officer Emma Robbins said:
“Simon Morgan’s sexual and violent offending is disgusting and is not limited to just one victim. He is a permanent threat to women’s safety and there is no doubt that had his brave victims not come forward, he would be committing these same offences to someone else today.”
She added that the victims had shown “immense bravery” in speaking out and said it was “pleasing to see such a violent and dangerous man… consigned to such a large prison sentence.”
At Swansea Crown Court, Judge Huw Rees said both rapes had been accompanied by violence and that Morgan’s history — which includes 10 previous convictions for 16 offences — demonstrated the danger he poses. His record includes assaults, ABH, GBH with intent and rape.
The court heard Morgan was already serving a 14‑year sentence imposed in April 2025 for raping a woman in 2021, an attack in which he dragged her to the floor, assaulted her and made threats to kill her while holding a bottle of rum. He was also sentenced at the time for a separate violent assault on a man in Neath that required reconstructive surgery, and for two assaults on a woman — one of which happened on a Gower beach in front of families.
Morgan’s barrister, Nick Gedge, told the court his client maintains his innocence over the 2015 rape. He said Morgan had experienced “childhood trauma”, had been engaging with education in prison, and had “found the Buddhist faith”.
Judge Rees imposed a 10‑year extended sentence, made up of six years in custody and four years on licence. The sentence will run consecutively to the 14 years Morgan is already serving. He must serve two‑thirds of the custodial term before he can apply for release, and the Parole Board will decide if he is safe to be freed.
South Wales Police said they have not released Morgan’s custody image at the request of a victim.
The force urged anyone affected by sexual abuse to seek support, saying survivors will be “listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and supported throughout the judicial process”.
