DENBIGH MAN ARWYN OWEN SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS FOR SEX ABUSE CHARGES IN CAERNARFON

In a significant legal development, Arwyn Owen, a 33-year-old resident of Clwyd Avenue in Denbigh, was formally sentenced to a decade in prison following his conviction on 14 separate charges related to sexual abuse. The case was heard at Caernarfon Crown Court, where a jury found Owen guilty after a thorough trial process.

Owen had initially entered a plea of not guilty, maintaining his innocence throughout the proceedings. However, the evidence presented in court was compelling enough to secure a conviction, leading to his sentencing by Judge Niclas Parry. The judge emphasized the gravity of the crimes committed and the impact on the victims, which contributed to the length of the sentence handed down.

The court also heard a disturbing detail from Owen’s past. In 2004, he had previously served a two-year prison sentence for indecent assault on a woman. During that incident, Owen had entered her bedroom while intoxicated and sat on her bed, an act that contributed to his criminal record and highlighted a pattern of concerning behavior.

Details of the current charges involved serious allegations of sexual misconduct against two victims, which Owen was accused of perpetrating over a period of time. The jury’s verdict confirmed his guilt on all counts, leading to the substantial prison term. The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and the judicial system to address and penalize sexual offenses, especially those involving repeat offenders like Owen from Denbigh.
