THIS is the first pic of the evil paedo branded ‘The Beast of Ballina’.

Vile David ‘The Sheep’ Langdon, 61, was caged for 11-and-a-half years earlier this month.

He pleaded guilty to seven sample counts of sexual assault on five young girls.

The attacks occurred over almost two decades, from April 1996 to July 2015.

The monster, from the St Patrick’s Estate in Ballina, Co Mayo, is now beginning his long sentence at the Midlands Prison, in Co Laois.

And The Irish Sun on ­Sunday can reveal a separate ­complaint has been made against Langdon.

It will now be investigated by Gardai.

The fiend — classified by cops as one of Ireland’s most prolific predators — can now be exposed after his victims agreed to him being named.

Following his sentence at Castlebar Circuit Court, one of his victims posted on social media about her trauma.

She wrote: “He will not take anything from me again — ­justice has been served.

I struggle to put into words the impact of what he did to me. How can I try and explain what he took from me?

“He took my innocence when I was seven years old and I was never the same again. I didn’t get a chance to grow up safely or normally and the effects followed me into adulthood.

“I have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, trust and a sense of fear. My past never leaves me.”

She also said: “He destroyed my self worth. I relied on drugs and­ ­alcohol to cope.

“He took something from me that can never be given back. I am now trying to rebuild what was broken before.

“The day he pleaded guilty in court is the day I took something back.”

We can also reveal officers feared Langdon could try and take his own life before he was sentenced for his crimes.

A source said: “Before he pleaded guilty to the offences it looked as if the guilt was weighing heavily on his mind.
