IPCC Commissioner for Wales Tom Davies said the case showed that the police take complaints seriously.
He said : "This case shows that the public can have confidence in the police complaints process.
"Following a complaint referral from Dyfed-Powys Police in May 2007, I decided to manage the investigation, which was undertaken by the force Professional Standards Department.
"Now that criminal proceedings are finalised, the force will consider any misconduct issues arising from the case and will make recommendations to the IPCC."
The spokesman for the IPCC added: "It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
