A man has been jailed for life after being convicted over multiple rapes of two children and an adult in Cardiff.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Anthony Nash, 47, from Birmingham, carried out a campaign of abuse against his victims before they came forward to South Wales Police.
Two days later Nash was arrested at his home address in Enford Close, Shard End.
The 47-year-old denied the allegations when interviewed but was charged and later pleaded guilty to all 13 rape offences.
He was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday, October 15 to life imprisonment and was told he must serve a minimum of 15 years before being considered for release.
A jury heard court Nash was considered a dangerous offender.
Detective Constable Harriet Jones from South Wales Police said: “These are horrific offences against the most vulnerable victims.
“I want to commend the victims for their incredible bravery and the courage they showed in coming forward, sharing what had happened, and supporting the investigation.
“I hope that the outcome at court brings them some comfort that the offender has been brought to some justice and that their bravery has helped protect the wider public from harm.”
