Neyland Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the community of Neyland in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, Peter Cook, aged 44, has been sentenced to four years in prison following his conviction for serious sexual offenses involving a minor. The former school governor and medical researcher was found guilty at Swansea Crown Court of multiple charges, including indecent assault and possession of indecent photographs of children.
Cook’s criminal activities came to light after a disturbing incident involving a 13-year-old girl, whom he was not related to.

The attack was described as meticulously planned, with Cook arranging for the assault to be filmed.

During sentencing, Judge Michael Burr did not hold back in condemning Cook’s actions. He described the victim as a “welcome guest” in Cook’s home, who was subjected to an appalling assault. The judge emphasized that Cook’s obsession with young children was a grave concern and that such behavior was unacceptable in any civilized society. The court’s decision also included placing Cook on the sex offenders register, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities.
