In January 2018, a serious case of child abuse resulted in the imprisonment of Robert Hughes, a former educator from Johnstown. Hughes, aged 62 and residing on Ystrad Drive in Johnstown, Carmarthen, was convicted after a lengthy trial at Swansea Crown Court. The court found him guilty of eleven separate charges linked to the sexual abuse of five young victims.The charges against Hughes included eight counts of indecent assault and three counts of attempted indecent assault. These offenses were committed during his time working at various educational institutions located in Carmarthenshire and Herefordshire. The nature of the crimes, which spanned across different regions, highlighted a disturbing pattern of misconduct during his employment in the education sector.
Following the conviction, Hughes was sentenced to a total of seven years in prison. Additionally, he was ordered to remain on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely, reflecting the severity of his crimes and the ongoing risk he poses to the community.
