Cardiff Crown Court A PAEDOPHILE who got a 13-year-old pregnant when she was a schoolgirl in the 1990s has been jailed for more than six years. A court heard how the unborn child of Andrew Higgs and the complainant had health complications and the victim was advised to terminate the pregnancy. The 43-year-old mechanic, of Meadow Close, Pengam, near Blackwood, had admitted his crime at the time to the authorities but nothing was ever done. The judge, Recorder Mark Powell QC, told Higgs: “It is a source of considerable mystery and concern that neither the police nor social services took any action.
The prosecutor said: “There was an element of bad blood on both sides.” The defendant first assaulted Mr McCann on October 9, 2020 when he turned up at his new workplace, leaving him with a minor injury. Morgan returned four days later and set upon him again. Mr Howells told the court: “The complainant felt severe blows to the back of the head and to the front of the head which caused him to fall to the floor. “It was a repeated and sustained assault. “The defendant drove away and Mr McCann was treated at Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny.” He sustained a fractured eye socket and with blurred vision for a time after the attack.
“She then noticed the van scrapping her car after colliding with the rear passenger side. “It went through a red light and didn’t stop before hitting a Ford Focus and reversing into a Vauxhall Zafira near the junction with the A48. “Paul Jones was driving home from work in his Focus. “He could tell the defendant had been drinking. He was slurring his words. “Mr Jones prevented him from leaving and took pictures of his van.” The police were called and they arrested Hamilton. The defendant was taken to Newport Central police station where he gave a reading of 79 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
