at Cardiff Crown Court in September.Gwent Police's temporary assistant chief constable Nick McLain said he had "no hesitation" in finding the allegations proven.

Had Orphan not resigned shortly before the hearing, Mr McLain said, he “would have been immediately dismissed had he not resigned.”

Orphan did not attend the hearing.He soon grew to love the cavern system, which dates back 350 million years, and by the age of seven he had explored it more than 100 times.

"It was surprisingly normal. You didn't think much of the cave because you became so used to it," he said.Growing up, Oliver said his friends thought it was "cool" and he even filmed a music video with his band in the caves.

"I think it was more when I went to university, you got people asking what your parents do," he added."When I said 'oh, we have a cave', the look on people's faces was quite interesting."
