Pembrokeshire sex offender admits five breaches of prevention order
A REGISTERED Haverfordwest sex offender has been brought before a district judge after breaching his sexual harm prevention order on five separate occasions.
Appearing via a video link from Parc Prison, where he is currently on remand, Adrian Thomas, 31, admitted all five charges when he was brought before Judge Mark Layton sitting at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
Crown Prosecutor Sian Vaughan informed Judge Layton that between January 21 and April 16, 2024, Thomas was in possession of more than one mobile phone and more than one SIM card at any single time. The sexual harm prevention order requires the defendant to notify Dyfed-Powys Police of any new phones and SIM cards he may acquire.
During the same dates, Thomas also set up a new email address in his mother’s name, despite failing to inform her of his actions, and failed to notify the police of the address at which he was residing.
“There is evidence that suggests he was using controlling behaviour towards his mother during this period of time,” said Sian Vaughan.
Judge Layton declined jurisdiction in sentencing Thomas and transferred the matter to Swansea Crown Court. Thomas will now be sentenced on November 12. He was remanded in custody.
