An NSPCC Wales spokesman said: “Boyle’s sickening and serious offences were carried out against three defenceless victims – the youngest of whom was aged just eight when the attacks started.
“He intimidated and threatened these girls in an effort to hide his horrific actions, but they found the courage to speak out to protect themselves and any other children who may have become Boyle’s next victims.
“Abuse can ruin childhoods and have a lasting impact into adulthood, so it is vitally important that all of Boyle’ victims receive the right support in order to recover from these terrible experiences.”
Adults with concerns about a child’s welfare can contact the NSPCC Helpline for free, 24/7, on 0808 800 5000. Meanwhile, children can call Childline to discuss any worries they may have on 0800 1111 on online at childline.org.uk.
