A second Pembrokeshire man within a week is facing a long prison sentence after a jury convicted him of child sex offences.

Byron Scarfe, aged 54, had denied assaulting two girls when they were aged nine and 11.

But following a trial at Swansea crown court the jury returned unanimous verdicts on all the charges, bar four that the judge had told them they did not need to consider.

Scarfe, of Rowlands Way, Pembroke, will be sentenced on July 10 after a probation officer has prepared a report into his background. He was remanded into custody meanwhile.

Scarfe was accused of raping the first girl twice and sexually assaulting her by various means on other occasions.

Jim Davis, prosecuting, said one of the incidents had been witnessed by a woman who was so shocked she hit him twice.

But at the time she accepted his explanation that he had walked into a room to find her already naked and had not actually touched her.

Mr Davis said Scarfe had asked the second girl if she had ever had “a real kiss” before putting his tongue in her mouth.

Mr Davis said it was the second girl who first told an adult what had happened. When that became known the allegations relating to the first girl came to light.

Scarfe told police and the jury that none of the incidents had taken place, apart from the incident that had been witnessed.

He said it was understandable that the witness had jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Last week, 74 year old Reginald Henry Turner, of High Street Close, Pembroke Dock, was jailed for life for sexually abusing children over a 15 year period.
