Jonathan Drakeford, son of Mark Drakeford
Mark Drakeford’s son Jonathan Drakeford is currently in jail after he was previously charged with making sexual advances towards a lady.
In 2018, it was reported that Jonathan Drakeford, the son of Welsh finance minister and possible Labor leader Mark Drakeford, had been convicted of rape and bodily harm.
In a statement read out in court, the victim expressed fear that Jonathan would “come back for me.” Drakeford’s defense attorney told the court that Drakeford was extremely frail, had been diagnosed with autism and had a low IQ.
Drakeford, who has been permanently charged with sex offenses, will serve most of his sentence behind bars before being granted parole. Drakeford’s attorney, Nigel Fryer, claimed that Drakeford’s “extremely low” IQ would negatively affect him in prison.
The prosecution claims that among the aggravating factors were the length of the incident and the use of a leather paddle. Drakeford also admitted to planning a sexual offense against a child.
Although he disputed the allegations of rape and assault resulting in substantial bodily harm, a jury still found Drakeford guilty. He admitted to having tried to organize the commission of a sexual crime against a child.
What was Mark Drakeford’s son Jonathan Drakeford doing?
Cardiff resident Jonathan Drakeford previously admitted to having sex with children after talking to a girl online who he thought was 15. Cardiff Crown Court was told the rape had been committed as ‘punishment’.
The “prolonged” violent encounter in November 2016 had a significant mental and emotional impact on the victim, according to judge Jonathan Furness QC.
Clare Wilks, the prosecutor, claims the incident took place in November 2016. The woman, who was in her early 20s, cannot be named due to legal constraints. However, the court says Drakeford “spanked” her with a leather paddle.
The woman was allegedly “humiliated” by the defendant by being made to stand in a corner while being tied up with her underwear, according to evidence presented in court. The judge found another embarrassing and demeaning behavior.
She said the incident damaged her current relationship and made it difficult for her to trust others. She was always afraid to come out and testify because she thought no one would believe her.
Sexual assault is one of the most harrowing and heartbreaking things that can happen to a person, says Det Constable Alex Jenkins of South Wales Police.
