Tredegar Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the local communities of Tredegar and Porthcawl, Paul Narusberg, a 69-year-old man originally from Tredegar, has been sentenced to prison after being found in possession of an extensive collection of indecent images of children. The case was brought before Newport Crown Court, where Narusberg pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to the possession of these illicit materials.
According to the prosecution, Steven Donoghue, police executed a search warrant at Narusberg’s residence in Tynewydd, Tredegar, on September 28 of this year. During the search, law enforcement officials uncovered a staggering total of 770 indecent images stored on a computer. These images included a disturbing variety of content, some of which was classified as the most severe category, Category A. Specifically, 500 of these images fell into this category, with 167 categorized as Category B and 103 as Category C. Among the Category A images, 498 were videos, and only two were photographs. The content depicted children as young as three years old, with the majority of the images featuring children aged between six and twelve.
The court heard that some of these images contained disturbing fetishes, including children being tied up, and one particular video was themed around a clown motif. Police investigations also revealed additional concerning material, including 336 images of mixed categories and 154 borderline images that police considered to be “concerning in some way.”
Further details emerged when Narusberg was arrested later that evening at Bristol Airport at approximately 10:05 pm, as he was returning from a holiday. The severity of the case was underscored by the nature of the images found, which depicted children in highly exploitative and abusive scenarios.
During the sentencing hearing, Judge Christopher Llewellyn-Jones QC expressed his horror at the volume and nature of such cases, emphasizing that a custodial sentence was the only appropriate response. The judge remarked on the disturbing similarity between those who view such images and those who produce them, stating, “If there wasn’t people who watched them, there wouldn’t be the demand for the abuse of children in the way that it appears in these videos.” He further condemned the actions, saying, “It’s absolutely horrific what was being done to these children,” and added, “You’re only slightly younger than I am and frankly, you disgust me.”
As a result, Narusberg was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He is required to serve at least half of this sentence before being eligible for release on licence. Upon release, he will be subject to a 12-month period of supervision and will be listed on the sex offenders register for a decade. Additionally, a sexual harm prevention order was imposed, permanently barring him from working with children and vulnerable adults. This case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat the proliferation of such heinous material and protect the most vulnerable members of society.
