Angel Walker

A paedophile who left a young girl suffering nightmares and depression has been jailed for 12 years and six months.

Angel Walker, 64, of Holyhead, admitted two counts of sexual assault against a child and two counts of sexual assault by penetration against the same victim.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard his offending had caused a severe psychological impact on the girl, who is now an adult.

Reading her statement to the court, she described Walker as a “guilty coward” and spoke about the lasting damage he had inflicted.

She had disclosed the abuse to a relative several times before contacting police in 2021.

Detectives interviewed Walker on 28 July 2023, when he answered mainly “no comment”.

He was subsequently charged and was due before Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court on 28 December 2023, but did not attend.

Walker was arrested in Portugal on 12 May 2026 and brought back to the UK.

However, prosecutor Richard Edwards explained that the charge sheet had been sent to an address where Walker no longer lived. The court was told he would have known he was under investigation, but not that he had been charged.

Walker admitted the offences shortly before his trial, receiving a 15 per cent reduction in his sentence for his guilty pleas.

The judge imposed a 12½-year prison sentence for one offence of sexual assault by penetration, with a concurrent term of eight years and four months for the other.

He also received concurrent sentences of four years and two months for each of the two sexual assaults against a child.

The court heard Walker must serve up to two-thirds of his sentence before release on licence.

He was also made subject to a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order, a lifelong restraining order and sex offender notification requirements for life.

His victim’s message was one of determination: she would keep fighting for herself and other children.

In a statement the victim – now an adult – told Caernarfon Crown Court: “I know I’m a fighter. I will fight for myself and other children…against monsters like Angel.”

She branded him “a guilty coward who gets his rocks off with little girls”. She has suffered nightmares and depression. “You took my innocence and shattered it like glass,” she said.
