He was given a public protection sentence with an 11-year minimum recommendation.
‘That means, of course, you may never be released,’ said Judge Paul Thomas QC.
Jacqueline Marling, 42, described as ‘Batley’s right-hand woman’, was jailed for 12 years, while Batley’s wife Elaine, 47, was jailed for eight years.
Shelly Millar, 35, described during the trial as Batley’s ‘sex slave’, was jailed for five years.
Vincent Barden, 70, of Kempston, Bedfordshire, who was not a cult member, was jailed for three years after admitting two counts of sexual assault on an underage girl.
Batley was said in court to have been active as a molester and rapist of children and young people for more than three decades.
Previously, a jury rejected claims by Batley and other defendants during the trial that no cult existed.
The cult, who all lived in the same cul-de-sac, took part in a catalogue of abuse against children and young adults.
Victims said the group used occult writings and practices to ‘brainwash’ them, and justify their abuse.
Batley used his position as the cult leader to rape boys and girls, the court was told. BBC online article 11 March 2011, ‘Kidwelly sex cult leader Colin Batley may never be free’
