mayor, 56, faces years in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault involving two girls aged under nine.

A former Welsh Tory mayor is facing a jail sentence after being convicted of raping a young girl.

David Boswell, who was the Conservative mayor of Pembroke, West Wales, was found guilty of raping a young girl.

The 56-year-old, who is still a Pembrokeshire county councillor, was also found guilty of three indecent assaults against her and another girl by a jury at Swansea Crown Court.

The abuse, involving girls aged under nine, happened during the early 1990s.

The Army veteran and local politician served in the Army for more than 12 years and is a marshal for the Royal British Legion.

He won the Pembroke St Mary North election in May 2017 by just six votes.

He was suspended by the party after being charged by police.

Boswell was acquitted of a further three counts of indecent assault involving the same complainants.

A jury will resume its deliberations over another allegation of indecent assault this morning, after being given more time by judge Keith Thomas, Wales Online reports.
