A predator who raped a young boy does not see anything wrong with engaging in sexual activity with children, a court has heard.
Hughie Janes, 27, believes that children of primary school age know what sexual activity is and "they want it".
Swansea Crown Court heard how the defendant thinks that he was giving pleasure to the boy, aged 11, that he raped, and he does not think that he committed an offence.
Passing an extended sentence on Janes, a judge told him that he posed a danger to children, Wales Online reports.
The court heard how Janes abused the boy at a property in Carmarthenshire, Wales, raping the child while putting his hand over the boy's mouth and then performing oral sex on him.
John Philpotts, prosecuting, said when arrested and interviewed the defendant gave a prepared statement in which he denied the allegations against him, and then declined to answer any questions.
Janes, of Clos Cefn y Maes, Llwynhendy, Llanelli, had previously pleaded guilty to raping a child under 13 and to causing a child to engage in sexual activity when he appeared in the dock for sentencing.
He has 11 previous convictions for 18 offences including dishonesty matters, drugs offences and violence.
Dyfed Thomas, for Janes, said the defendant had told him he was sorry and remorseful for his actions.
He said his client had experienced mental health issues and problems caused by cannabis use - but those were not matters which were relied upon in mitigation.
Recorder IWL Jones told Janes he had no doubt that what he did to his victim would have a life-long effect.
He said he had read the very detailed and "concerning" pre-sentence report on the defendant in which Janes said he did not see any problem having a sexual relationship with a male
