Lewis Edwards, who at the time of his offending was an officer with South Wales Police, has admitted 160 child sex offences. The court has heard he had over 200 victims.
A victim's mother has told a court she feels 'nothing other than hate' for a paedophile police officer. Former South Wales Police officer Lewis Edwards has admitted 160 child sex offences. Cardiff Crown Court has previously heard he had over 200 victims. Edwards, now 24, did not turn up for the hearing and it continued in his absence. One of his victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons, read out her statement in court on Tuesday.
' The victim said she didn't think she would 'ever get over this trauma but it has made stronger'. She said the 'hardest thing' for her was finding out he was a police officer. 'He should have to hear all of the victims' statements,' she said. She said she wanted Edwards to know that he ' not won'. 'My trauma does not define me,' she added. The girl's mother gave a victim impact statement from the witness stand.
