A police officer has been sentenced to 16 years in jail for raping a baby. PC Dean Roberts, 48, was caught by his own colleagues after he filmed himself abusing the child before sending the footage to other pedophiles.
Roberts’ crime was exposed after the arrest of a fellow pedophile, lawyer John Guess, led detectives to their colleague. The pair planned to jointly abuse children and share footage of their crimes, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
The now ex-police officer admitted to a litany of charges that included rape, sexual assault of a child, as well as possession and distribution of indecent images of children.
In court, the mother of Roberts’ victim said: “I can never forget the knock on my door and my whole world just falling apart. It was just like being hit by a bus. We will always have to live with the consequences.”
Upon handing Roberts his sentence, Judge Recorder of Cardiff Eleri Rees QC stated: “The victim was particularly vulnerable because of her extremely young age. She was helpless to defend herself although the footage indicates she was awake and in real discomfort.”
