KYLE PARRY FROM CAERNARFON AND HUDDERSFIELD SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOY

In a case that has shocked the communities of Caernarfon and Huddersfield, Kyle Martin John Parry, aged 21, has been sentenced to a total of nine years in prison after admitting to the sexual abuse of a five-year-old boy. Parry, who was formerly residing in Rhostryfan near Caernarfon and has since moved to Riddings Road in Huddersfield, appeared before Caernarfon Crown Court last month to face charges related to this disturbing incident.

Parry's plea was entered shortly before the trial was scheduled to commence, prompting the court to adjourn sentencing until January 26 to allow for reports from the Probation Service. The reports, which Judge Huw Rees described as “harrowing reading,” played a significant role in the sentencing decision. The judge made it clear that Parry poses a serious danger to children, citing the nature of the evidence and the reports.

In light of this, Judge Rees extended Parry’s license by an additional four years upon his release, effectively making his total sentence span nine years. Furthermore, a stringent 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order was imposed, which explicitly prohibits Parry from having any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 16. The order also disqualifies him from working with children and from making contact with the boy’s family through any means, aiming to prevent any further harm or contact.

The prosecution, led by Sion ap Mihangel, detailed how the young victim confided in his mother about the abuse inflicted by Parry. This disclosure prompted her to contact the police, leading to her son undergoing a medical examination. Evidence collected from the scene, including DNA swabs, confirmed Parry’s involvement, as his DNA was found on the samples taken. Following his arrest, Parry was taken in for questioning but refused to answer any questions posed by detectives.

During the court proceedings, the boy’s mother provided a Victim Personal Statement, describing the profound impact the abuse has had on her son. She expressed hope that counseling would aid her son’s recovery from the trauma. The court heard that Parry’s actions had a “massive effect” on the young boy, emphasizing the severity of the case.

In his defense, Parry’s legal representative, Owen Edwards, acknowledged the seriousness of his client’s actions. He stated that Parry recognized the gravity of what he had done and expressed remorse, highlighting that his plea was a sign of his contrition and an attempt to mitigate the circumstances. The defense emphasized that Parry’s acknowledgment of his wrongdoing was an important factor in the case.

It is also noteworthy that last month, Parry was acquitted of a separate charge involving the rape of a young girl after a three-day trial at Caernarfon Crown Court. He was found not guilty of sexually assaulting the girl in that case, which adds a complex layer to his legal history and the ongoing concerns about his conduct.
