Kyran Wingfield-West Sentenced to 2 Years, 8 Months in Youth Detention for Raping Girl Under 13

The judge reduced the term, citing learning disability, immaturity and guilty pleas, imposing indefinite safeguarding orders.

Overview

  • Wingfield-West, now 20, admitted two counts of raping a child under 13 and was ordered to serve two years and eight months for each offence in a young offenders' institution.
  • The offences happened in north west Wales when he was 17, with the court hearing he raped the girl twice in a car park.
  • Police were alerted after the victim's father found messages in which his daughter expressed fear she could be pregnant.
  • The court heard Wingfield-West told the girl to delete a messaging app once police became involved, which the judge noted as an attempt to interfere.
