A vile child sex predator from Margate has been locked up for a monstrous 28 years. Duncan Bayles, 65, has finally paid for decades of sick abuse against multiple victims.
Duncan Bayles’ Sick Crimes Exposed
Bayles, formerly of Northdown Road, was convicted of horrific offences against five children dating back to the 1980s. His twisted tactics included grooming, manipulation, bribery with gifts, and appalling sexual assaults. He warped his victims into thinking his crimes were “normal.”
Police Launch Specialist Probe After Victims Speak Out
Kent Police kicked off a specialist investigation in June 2019 after one brave man came forward, revealing years of abuse by Bayles as a boy. The probe uncovered three more male victims and 19 charges, ranging from gross indecency to attempted rape.
More Victims Brave Court to Speak Out
Following Bayles’ October 2024 conviction on all counts at Canterbury Crown Court, a female victim stepped forward with her harrowing story. Bayles tried to intimidate her by threatening her pets and convincing her she wouldn’t be believed.
Justice has finally caught up with this monstrous predator. Bayles faces 28 years behind bars for shattering lives over decades.
