MAN JAILED FOR 26 YEARS FOR RAPE AND ABUSE SPANNING THREE DECADES
A 66-year-old man from Braunton, Christopher Welch, has been labelled a "vile human being" and "dangerous sexual predator" by law enforcement after being sentenced to 26 years for a series of serious offenses against women and minors.
Welch was convicted of numerous charges at Exeter Crown Court on February 25, including four counts of rape, one of assault by penetration, and one of indecent assault involving a woman.
He also faced and was found guilty of four indecency charges and two charges of indecency with a minor, as well as an assault on a child under 13 by penetration.
An additional indecent assault involving another woman was also part of his convictions.
Following a court hearing on April 2, he was sentenced to serve 26 years in prison with an additional three years on licence.
He is also mandated to remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
The court was informed that Welch committed these crimes over a period of three decades, targeting three children and two women across the counties of Devon during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.
