WAYNE AULD ABUSES YOUNG GIRL IN HOLYWELL AND NANT Y COED

In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Holywell, Wayne Auld, a man residing in Nant Y Coed, was convicted of serious sexual offenses involving a young girl during the 1990s. The court proceedings revealed the extent of his heinous actions, which have left lasting scars on his victim.

According to court records, Auld, aged 58 at the time of sentencing, engaged in a pattern of abuse against a young girl who cannot be named for legal reasons. The abuse took place over a period during the 1990s, during which he subjected her to sexual acts that caused her significant emotional trauma. The prosecutor, Simon Mills, detailed how Auld, a former Royal Navy serviceman, would force the girl to perform these acts and, in a disturbing twist, would sometimes reward her with loose change from his pockets after each incident.

The court heard that Auld’s actions were not isolated. He had previously served an 18-month prison sentence for similar offenses committed against another girl. However, the full extent of his misconduct with the recent victim only came to light during this trial. The victim, now an adult woman, chose to come forward and speak about her experiences, revealing how her childhood trauma has profoundly affected her ability to trust men. Her statement to the court described feelings of fear and anxiety that persist to this day, despite her understanding that not all men are like Auld.

Prosecutor Simon Mills emphasized that the victim’s silence for many years was due to her inability to speak out at the time, which underscores the devastating impact of Auld’s abuse. The court was also informed that her suffering was compounded by the fact that Auld’s previous conviction had not prevented him from reoffending.

Judge Niclas Parry delivered a stern sentence, condemning Auld to a five-year prison term. Additionally, he imposed a lifelong restraining order to prevent any future contact with the victim. In his remarks, the judge stated that Auld had “ruined” the young woman’s life solely for his own sexual gratification. The judge highlighted that her current lonely existence and trust issues are direct consequences of Auld’s actions, which she bears no responsibility for. The case has left a lasting mark on the community of Holywell, raising awareness about the long-term effects of childhood abuse and the importance of justice for victims.
