KINGSLEY PERERA'S SHOCKING REVELATION IN PORT TALBOT AND SWANSEA CRIME SCANDAL
| Red Rose Database
Swansea Port Talbot Rapist
In July 2022, a disturbing case emerged involving Kingsley Perera, a man with a troubling history linked to child exploitation and illegal online activity, with his actions unfolding across the towns of Port Talbot and Swansea. Perera, a 59-year-old former children's entertainer and clown, was found to be involved in serious criminal conduct despite strict legal restrictions placed upon him.
Perera had previously been convicted and sentenced to 10 months in prison in December 2020 after authorities uncovered nearly 4,000 indecent images depicting children being sexually abused and raped on his mobile devices. Among these were over 600 Category A images, representing the most severe forms of abuse. Following this conviction, he was required to register any internet-enabled device with the police, a measure intended to monitor and prevent further offenses.
Despite these legal obligations, Perera was caught in a clandestine act just weeks after receiving a suspended sentence for moving house without informing the authorities. On July 5, police officers patrolling the Townhill area of Swansea responded to reports concerning a Ford Galaxy vehicle. When they located the car, they observed a man, later identified as Perera, slumped inside, attempting to avoid detection. As the officers approached, Perera exited the vehicle and crawled towards a nearby shed, where he was seen sliding a mobile phone under the door.
Efforts by the police to retrieve the device were initially unsuccessful, but they managed to recover the phone after arresting Perera. During questioning, he initially denied ownership of the mobile, but subsequent examination revealed that the device’s main contact was his sister. Further forensic analysis uncovered a selfie taken by Perera in February of that year, indicating he had been in possession of the secret phone for several months.
The device’s contents and the circumstances of its concealment raised serious concerns. The police found that Perera had been hiding this phone despite his legal obligation to disclose all such devices. His history of non-compliance was compounded by a previous incident in April, when he failed to notify authorities of his move to a new residence on Pen-y-Cae Road in Port Talbot. During that period, a bedroom in his new home appeared to be a child's room, complete with a racing car bed, further fueling suspicions of ongoing inappropriate behavior.
When questioned about the undisclosed phone, Perera responded with a 'no comment' and submitted a prepared statement claiming he only used the device to contact family and friends, admitting it was foolish not to have disclosed it. His legal record includes multiple convictions, and he has been subject to a sexual harm prevention order for ten years, as well as being on the sex offenders register for the same duration. Under these restrictions, he was required to inform police of any new address within three days.
However, his compliance was again called into question when, in April, he was handed a 24-week suspended prison sentence after moving to a property on Pen-y-Cae Road without notifying authorities. During that sentencing, evidence suggested that one of his bedrooms was a child's room, raising further concerns about his ongoing risk.
Prosecutor Hannah George highlighted that Perera’s actions, especially his concealment of the phone, demonstrated a blatant disregard for the restrictions imposed on him. The court was told that Perera’s attempts to deny responsibility and blame others, including his own sister, were part of a pattern of evasive behavior. The court also noted his history of multiple offenses, with seven previous convictions spanning 21 offenses.
Judge Geraint Walters addressed Perera directly, emphasizing that sexual harm prevention orders are designed not only to protect the public but also to safeguard the individual. He expressed concern over Perera’s repeated breaches and the fact that activities conducted in secrecy often lead to suspicion. The judge warned that if Perera continued offending, the sentences would become increasingly severe.
In light of his guilty plea, Perera received a sentence of 12 months in prison for breaching the sexual harm prevention order. Additionally, the judge activated three months of his previous suspended sentence, resulting in an overall sentence of 15 months. He is expected to serve up to half of this period in custody before being released on license to serve the remainder in the community.
This case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in monitoring individuals with a history of child exploitation, especially those who attempt to evade detection through clandestine means. The towns of Port Talbot and Swansea continue to grapple with the repercussions of such disturbing criminal activities, highlighting the importance of vigilance and strict enforcement of legal restrictions to protect vulnerable children and the community at large.
