Both men were convicted of multiple charges related to harming young girls, with Stephen having a previous conviction in 1989.
Judge Huw Rees stated that the victims had been “denied a childhood,” and the abuse was described as having a profound effect on the women.
William Bowditch was sentenced to 21 years, while Stephen Bowditch was sentenced to 12 years. Both will remain registered sex offenders for life.
Sarah shared that she feels some sense of justice now that they are behind bars and that other girls are safe from them.
“I’ve had a lot of support from my family, especially my step-daughter, Eleesha, and my husband, Darren.”
