Notes:

a) South Wales Gazette - Friday 19 October 1956 nBlaina Man Posed as R.A.F. Officer Alleged Prosecution For Trial on Procuring Charge A Blaina man who was alleged to have procured a 17-year-old Pontllanfraith girl by means of Is false pretence was committed for trial at the next Monmouthshire Assizes when he appeared at an adjourned special court at Blackwood on Monday. The man was William George Norster 26, of 44, Hope Street Blaina It was claimed at last week's hearing that Norster told the girl that he was the son of a bus company proprietor, that he was a flying Officer, and that his father was seriously ill. and later that his father was dead. On the night before he said he had to leave for the R.A.F. he and the girl were intimate. Evidence was given that Norster was already married, with a four year-old child, and was not the son of a company proprietor. Mr Glyn Davies, County prosecuting Solicitor, told the court that in fact Norster had only been a leading aircraftsman in the RAF and not a flying officer. When the proceedings were resumed on Monday, evidence was given by Dr. Leonard Alexander Ogilvie, a gynaecologist at St. David's hospital, Trodegar. The girl's mother told the court that she met Norster for the first time at the dance at a Pontllanfraith club on Monday, July 22nd. He introduced himself as Alan Reames. Two days later he asked for her permission to become engaged to her daughter. She told him that if he waited until the girl was 18 she would probably be favourable. Asked by Mr Glyn Davies what her opinion of Norster was at that lime, she replied: "I thought be was a fast worker." He definitely stated that he was single. She agreed with Mr Arthur Davies, representing Norster, that the accused had stated that even if he were engaged he did not intend to get married for some time.n"COURTSHIP"nAt this stage, Mr Glyn Davies stated that although it had earlier been thought to take separately a further charge against Norster that of obtaining £3 by means of a false pretence, it had now been decided to take it simultaneously.nMr Davies alleged that Norster during the period of his "courtship" with the girl had been introduced by her as Alan Reames to a man who kept a grocery store at Pontllanfraith.nOn a later date, Norster went to the store and borrowed some money from this man.n"TEMPORARILY EMBARRASED"nWilliam Demaid of Springfield Stores, Pontllanfraith, said he had lent Norster £3. Norster, whom he knew as Reames, told him that he was "temporarily embarrased" and would pay the money back the next day. He had not seen him since.nHe did not think, however, that he would have lent the money if Norster had not said he would pay him back the next day.nDetective-constable Frank Parry said that on August 29th he went to Blaina with the girl's mother who pointed Norster out to him in the street.nHe then interviewed him in the police station at Blaina that day.nHe told Norster "I have received a complaint that you posed as Alan Reames, that you were a single man and that you proposed to the girl and told her parents that you were a single man, and believing your intentions honest she allowed you to have intercourse"nNorster, after caution, replied: "I told Mr Harris here (another police officer) that I called myself Alan Reames. I have been no good. I have done wrong and I will have to pay for it" he claimed.n"LEADING AIRCRAFTSMAN"nDetective-constable Parry then told Norster that he would be taken into custody and detained at Blackwood police station.nLater that day Norster told him: "I have made a mess of things all my life. All this is my fault and I don't want to drag anybody into it. I will pay for what I have done and start afresh" he alleged.nDetective-constable Parry said that he found that Norster had only been a leading aircraftsman in the RAF and not a flying officer as he had told the family.nReplying to Mr Arthur Davies, Parry said that he was a married man with one daughter.nMr Davies: If your daughter was 17 or 81 years old, would you take her there? (the club in Pontllanfraith where the girl met Norster when she was accompanied by her parents)nDetective-constable Parry replied: No, sir.nAfter a short retirement the magistrates found that there was a case to answer on each of the charges, and as stated, committed Norster for trial at the next Monmouthsire Assizes.nn South Wales Gazette - Friday 09 November 1956 nWilliam George Alan Norster of 44 Hope Street, Blaina was sent to prison for nine months at Monmoutshire Assizes at Newport yesterday after he had been found guilty of procuring an 18-year-old Pontllanfraith girl.
