September 2005 Sex assault on teen A pervert has been jailed for four years after admitting sexually assaulting a young teenager. Lyndon Nash, aged 50, of Maesteg Road, Tonteg, was banned from working with children and will not be allowed to have any child under the age of 16 in his home unless an adult is present. Nash pleaded guilty to two sexual assaults. The girl’s ordeal only ended when she threatened to tell her mother. When confronted with the allegation he initially said the sexual contact was consensual but later admitted what he had done. Ieuan Morris, prosecuting at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court, said: “It was a frightening ordeal.” The incident only came to light when the girl, who kept her eyes shut through the incident, told her mother about Nash’s actions, believing that she could have been pregnant. Police had to force their way into his home after he had taken a variety of medication. When Nash was confronted he said that it was impossible the girl was pregnant. Marion Lewis, defending, told the court Nash did not have an attraction to child porn nor a history of sexual fantasies and was racked with guilt over his actions. But Ms Lewis said Nash, who lived with his parents, had suffered a depressive illness from unresolved grief following the death of his mother. “He is deeply conscious of what he has done and the effect upon her and her family,” said Ms Lewis. Jailing Nash for four years, having to serve at least half his sentence before being eligible for parole which will be determined by the Home Secretary, the judge said his actions would have a lasting effect on the girl. He will also have to register as a sex offender.
