A LLANDOVERY man who admitted several child sex offences will be sentenced next week after a delay due to concerns over his mental state.

Jack Jones, 22, admitted 12 charges relating to activity with children at Swansea Crown Court on January 20.

He was due to be sentenced on Monday, April 17.

A psychiatric report had been ordered after concerns were raised about Jones, however, although the report had been completed, Jones’ defence barrister said they did not yet have a copy of it.

Judge Catherine Richards said Jones was “facing a lengthy term in prison”, and information in the medical report could “assist the court” in sentencing him.  

Jones has admitted:

  • Inciting a girl under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity in terms of requesting indecent photographs between March 1, 2020, and March 25, 2020. The victim was just nine years old.
  • Engaging in sexual communication with a second child under the age of 16 on April 15, 2020.
