October 2014 Child rapist told his 15-year jail term was not excessive A pervert who raped a little girl and sexually abused a young boy has been told by top judges that his 15-year jail term was not a day too long. David John Cole, 68, committed the offences four decades ago but was only recently brought to justice. Cole, of Cae Person, Llanddarog, Carmarthen, Dyfed, was caged at Swansea Crown Court in May last year. He was convicted of two rapes and other sexual offences against an underage girl, plus further sex crimes against a little boy. On Friday, he asked London’s Appeal Court to slash his sentence, arguing it was much too tough. But Mrs Justice Simler, sitting with Lord Justice Fulford and Mr Justice Wyn Williams, rejected his complaints. The judge said: “This was a campaign of sexual abuse of two young children, which included rape and caused significant psychological trauma and impact. “This sentence was not manifestly excessive.”
