Child abuser jailed indefinitely

Friday 17th April 2009, 4:30PM BST.

A predatory paedophile from Mid Wales, whose rape victim has never been identified, was today jailed indefinitely.

David Ernest Bye, 43, pleaded guilty to the rape and sexual assault of a girl under 13, and possessing more than 17,000 indecent images of children, some of which he had taken himself, at an earlier hearing at Merthyr Crown Court.

The court heard he groomed multiple victims and photographed himself raping one of them.

Dyfed-Powys Police believe Bye was the first person to be convicted of rape of a child who has never been identified.
