A man who had previously been found with indecent images of children sexually assaulted two teenage women by touching them on their bottoms. One of the victims said she had suffered sleepless nights as a result of the assault and was scared to go out at night.
Paedophile David Llewellyn, 39, made sexualised comments towards his victims before he assaulted them and would whisper in their ears. This made the victims feel uncomfortable and anxious of being in the defendant's presence.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard one of the victim's told Llewellyn she was just 19-years-old, to which he responded: "I've done much younger than that." For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter.
The first victim described how the defendant got "right in her face" and cornered her when she attempted to back away from him.
Llewellyn later "cupped" the victim's bottom and smirked as he told her "Come on, you love it".
The second victim said the defendant also touched her bottom.

When she turned round and accused him of sexually assaulting her, he replied: "Yes, I know."
The court heard the victim felt "uncomfortable and vulnerable" following the assault.
Llewellyn, of Tyndall Street, Butetown, Cardiff, denied two counts of sexual assault but was found guilty of both charges following a trial.
The defendant has four previous convictions, including an offence of making indecent images in 2018.
As a result of this conviction, Llewellyn was made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which he has breached on a number of occasions.
In a victim personal statement read to the court by prosecutor Thomas Stanway, one of the victims said suffered from "sleepless nights" and was "scared to go out at night".
In mitigation, Paul Hewitt said his client's situation is "bleak" and "all he has going for him" is his supported accommodation, which he would lose if sent to prison.
The defence barrister said the defendant suffers with anxiety, for which he has been prescribed medication.
Sentencing, Judge Carl Harrison said the offences were too serious to be dealt with by anything other than an immediate custodial sentence.

He also said the defendant had "minimised" his actions when he was interviewed by the probation service.
Llewellyn was sentenced to six months imprisonment.

Man who crashed stolen car into wall told witness: 'Don't grass me up'
Man who crashed stolen car into wall told witness: 'Don't grass me up' Kyle Durham, 37, went on to tell the witness: 'Say it was two girls... I'm well-known round here' Kyle Durham, 37, took a Mini Cooper and drove it into a wall while intoxicated causing £22,000 of damage (Image: South Wales Police) An intoxicated man crashed a stolen vehicle into a wall and caused £22,000 worth of driving before telling a witness "Don't grass me up, I'm well-known round here." He later smashed a friend's flat up and took her car without permission, telling her: "You're not having your car back." Kyle Durham, 37, wrote off a Mini Cooper belonging to Rhiannon Williams on May 24 last year in Pontypridd after he had been given the keys by one of her friends. He crashed into a wall belonging to Transport for Wales but left the scene on foot having been witnessed. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard at around 3am residents heard a loud bang in Wood Road and the defendant was seen to pull a woman out of the car. For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter. Before he left the scene he spoke to a witness and said: "Please don't snitch on us." Blood was coming from his mouth and he ran off. Shortly later, he returned to pick up the car keys and again spoke to the witness, saying: "Say it was two girls. I've been to prison for 15 years. Don't grass me up. I'm well-known around here." The police were called and Durham was identified on CCTV footage and he was later arrested. Officers called Ms Williams and told her the Mini had been involved in a crash. The car was written off due to front-end damage and there was a hole in a wall, which would cost £22,822 to repair. In a victim personal statement read to the court by Tabitha Walker Ms Williams said: "For six to seven weeks I have been without a car and the insurance company has yet to pay out. "I work as a nurse, mostly agency, so I have to travel... I have only been able to work one shift a week and have had to use public transport. "I have lost around £500 to £600 a week. It's had a negative impact on my wellbeing and I feel I am the only person to suffer from the selfish actions of others." On December 21 last year Durham attended the home of friend Charmaine Thorne and became angry. He punched a door, causing it to fall off its hinges, flipped a coffee table, threw a television set from a wall and ripped wires which caused it to spark, threw a coffee table at a wall, damaged an Xbox, snapped an iPhone, and damaged a lightshade. The victim attempted to get into her car but the defendant told her to get into the passenger seat and he got into the driver's seat. During the journey he confronted another driver and said: "What's your f****** problem?" before driving off. Ms Thorne left the car to get into a shop and told staff Durham had taken her car. At this point the defendant said: "You're not having your car back." He then drove off and left Ms Thorne to get a bus back to her parents' house. Durham, formerly of Yr Hen Fuarth, Treforest, was arrested on December 31 after he was seen hiding near a rugby pitch and was pursued by police on foot. In her victim personal statement Ms Thorne said: "He made me feel really upset. I am too frightened to let anyone inside my property as I don't trust anyone. "I am afraid to leave my house and feel isolated from friends. I am struggling to sleep and believe the whole incident has impacted my mental health. The defendant later pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle-taking, taking a vehicle without consent, driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance, theft of motor vehicle, and criminal damage. The court heard he has 16 previous convictions for offences including theft from the person, aggravated vehicle-taking, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance. In mitigation Andrew Taylor said his client's life has been "blighted" by cocaine and alcohol but he is now free of cocaine. It was said he now has a new partner and has the offer of employment and accommodation from his uncle. Mr Taylor asked the court if an order could be made to prevent the defendant from attending pubs, specifically his father's pub where he has access to free alcohol, but Judge Lucy Crowther said this was not possible. Judge Crowther sentenced Durham to 24 months imprisonment. Article continues below The defendant was also made subject to a driving ban for two years upon his release and a restraining order for two years.

Clydebank man sent indecent messages to undercover cops
Andrew Beadle pleaded guilty to causing the three Police Scotland officers to view sexual communications and images in 2024. The 46-year-old admitted the first was between February 27 and March 5, and on June 28. The second between October 2 and 8. And the third was on October 8. READ NEXT: 3 suspects accused of murder of man in Glasgow 20 years ago READ NEXT: 5 people to stand trial accused of holding a man hostage at gunpoint Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard how the first officer was online when they received a message from Beadle, of Clyde Court, Dalmuir. They said they were a 13-year-old girl and the man sent an image of a penis. He asked for sexual images of herself, which the officer declined. The indecent messages continued and he sent four images of an erect penis and video of a man masturbating. In October, the second officer was pretending to be a 12-year-old girl. Beadle sent her sexual and indecent messages and two still images of genitals. The third officer also pretended to be a 12-year-old girl, and the man acknowledged her age. He sent two images of a penis and a video of two adults having sex. When he was arrested, he admitted sending images but "maintained he believed he was not communicating with children", heard the court. Defence solicitor Kenny McGowan said it was "certainly a matter of some gravity" and his client understood the process required of being registered as a sex offender. The Crown said they were applying for a Sexual Harm Prevention Order with eight conditions to monitor him. Sheriff John McElroy KC deferred sentence until September 8 for reports to be prepared. He said: "You don't need me to tell you you pleaded guilty to disgraceful offences. Be under no illusion you have a record and you know what's on your record. "There are two previous direct alternatives to custody. All options are available to me in terms of your offending here." Beadle was put on the sex offenders register in the interim.

'Silent man' who has spent a decade repeatedly blocking traffic does it again
'Silent man' who has spent a decade repeatedly blocking traffic does it again Once arrested for obstructing the highway David Hampson refuses to speak to police officers, lawyers, doctors, court staff, judges, and probation staff. Juries have found he is "mute of malice" not "mute by visitation of God" David Hampson (Image: South Wales Police) A man who has spent more than a decade repeatedly standing in the middle of a busy road until he is arrested and then remaining silent has done it again - just a month after being jailed for his last road-blocking offence. David Hampson always choses the same spot for his action, namely the junction outside Swansea Central police station in the middle of Swansea. After being arrested for obstructing the highway the 55-year-old refuses to engage with police officers, lawyers, doctors, court staff, judges, and probation staff, and the reasons for his behaviour remain unknown. Over the last 10 years the defendant has sat through multiple trials to determine whether he can talk and is simply choosing not to or whether there is some psychological or physical issue preventing him from speaking - in legal terms to determine whether he is "mute of malice" or "mute by visitation of God" - and trials to determine whether he is guilty to standing in the road. Hampson refuses to enter pleas to any charge, refuses to call any evidence in his defence, and has always remained silent throughout the trials, usually just looking down at the floor of the dock when asked a question. Swansea Magistrates Court heard the latest offence happened on June 19 this year when Hampson stood in the middle of De La Beche Street outside Swansea Central police station blocking the traffic until he was arrested. From the point of arrest he refused to speak. After refusing to enter a plea, a "not guilty" plea was entered on his behalf and he was subsequently convicted at trial of obstructing the highway. The incident happened 28 days after Hampson was sentenced to six months in prison for doing exactly the same thing at the same location. David Hampson, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to six months in prison. He will serve no more than half the sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community. Swansea Central police station (Image: WALES NEWS SERVICE) The defendant has been repeating a similar pattern of road-blocking then remaining silent since 2014 when he was given a two-year conditional discharge for four counts of wilfully obstructing free passage along the highway. The following year he was convicted of a public nuisance offence for the same behaviour, and was made the subject of his first criminal behaviour order or 'Crasbo.' However, his behaviour continued and he subsequently received custodial sentences after being convicted of breaching the court order in 2016, 2017 and again in 2018 when he was sentenced to 42 months in prison. In December 2021 Hampson was again arrested outside Swansea Central police station after he blocked the road at the junction of Mount Pleasant and De La Beche Street. The defendant was initially detained under the Mental Health Act, and once his identity was established from his driving licence he was arrested for breaching the Crasbo. He made no reply when cautioned nor when he was subsequently charged. He remained silent when he appeared at Swansea Magistrates Court and the case was committed to Swansea Crown Court. The defendant remained silent during his appearance at the higher court in May 2022 and refused to talk when asked to enter a plea, meaning a "not guilty" plea was recorded on his behalf and the matter went to trial in July. Before the jurors could decide whether Hampson had obstructed the highway or not, they had to determine whether he was "mute of malice" or "mute by visitation of god" - that is, whether he could speak and was choosing not to or whether there was some physical or other issue which was preventing him from speaking. After hearing evidence from prison officers who said defendant had spoken to them while he was an inmate at HMP Swansea the jury found that he was mute of malice and subsequently found that he did carry out the act of blocking the road and breaching his criminal behaviour order. Following the jury's findings the judge ordered a psychiatric report into Hampson in the hope it would cast some light on his behaviour and suggest possible help that he could be offered. However, the defendant refused to speak to the court-appointed doctor so no interview could take place. In response to his non-co-operation, the court ordered that his medical records be produced and given to the psychiatrist so some information about him and his background was known. The case returned court in the August of that year for a report from the doctor, and the medic concluded that though Hampson's mutism was "selective and deliberate" there may be social or financial "stresses" that contributed to his decision not to talk. The doctor said he was not able to diagnose any psychiatric or other condition and so a hospital order could not be proposed as a way of dealing with the defendant. At that hearing judge Huw Rees said there may well be "social stresses" involved in Hampson's decision not to speak but in his view the defendant's silence was the result of "breath-taking arrogance and insolence" on his part. The defendant was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. In October 2023 Hampson returned to the road outside Swansea Central police station and again blocked traffic. Officers took the defendant aside and spoke to him but he did not engage. He was advised to leave the area but he went straight back into the road and so was arrested. When Hampson appeared before justices charged with obstructing the highway he refused to speak or acknowledge the court and as he did not enter a plea to the charge, a plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf. The defendant was bailed pending a trial and left the court building and went back to standing in the road. He was arrested again, charged and remanded into custody ahead of a trial. Article continues below Hampson again refused to speak when he appeared in the dock for his trial in December, did not challenge the prosecution case nor put forward any defence, and was convicted of two counts of obstructing the highway. He was sentenced to six months in prison. After being released from custody he returned to the street outside Swansea Central police station on April 8 this year. Firearms officers escorted the defendant off the road and warned him that if he repeated the behaviour he would be arrested. A short time later the defendant returned to the carriageway and was arrested. The defendant was arrested and taken into the police station and was subsequently granted bail. He returned to the middle of the road and was arrested and remanded into custody. On June 22 he was convicted of obstructing the highway and was sentenced to six months in prison.
