“I will never be able to forgive or forget what he did. “He has stolen my childhood. He is a vile man who preyed on me. He is very clever and he manipulated me. “I suffered pain and humiliation after what Michael Beddis did to me all those years ago.” The defendant pleaded guilty to the historical offences on the day of his trial. Beddis, of Daisy Street, Canton, Cardiff, admitted three counts of indecent assault committed between 1993 and 1999. Two of the attacks took place when the victim was aged between 14 and 15. Miss Lewis told the court Beddis was jailed for three years in 2003 for indecent assault and gross indecency with a child.
