The ‘evil and manipulative’ Batley has been in prison for 12 years after being convicted of running a cult in a small corner of Carmarthenshire
A notorious paedophile and sex cult leader who abused children and young adults at his home in Carmarthenshire could be freed from prison, it has been revealed. Colin Batley was jailed 12 years ago for a string of perverted sex attacks.
Having moved to Wales from London in the 1990s, Batley set up what was described during his trial as a “black magic sex cult” in a quiet cul-de-sac in the small sleepy town of Kidwelly. Aged 48 when he was sent to prison in 2011, Batley – the self-appointed ‘high priest’ of the group – was told he would serve a minimum term of 11 years.

Three women were also jailed for crimes associated with the group. Jacqueline Marling, then aged 42, was jailed for 12 years, while Batley’s wife Elaine, then aged 47, was jailed for eight years. Shelly Millar, then aged 35, was jailed for five years.
