Ceredigion Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Breaches of Sexual Harm Prevention Order

Ifan Evans, 36, of Brynawel, Cross Inn, Llanon, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 10 January, facing a slew of charges related to breaches of a sexual harm prevention order and the creation of indecent images of children.

Evans is accused of making two category C indecent images of a child in Ceredigion between 25 December 2021 and 27 May 2022. No plea was entered on this charge at the hearing.

However, Evans admitted to seven breaches of a sexual harm prevention order imposed on him by Swansea Crown Court on 30 May 2018 for previous offenses involving making and possessing indecent images.

He pleaded guilty to the following breaches:

• Creating and accessing a Telegram account between 23 November 2021 and 20 May 2022
• Creating and accessing an Instagram account between 5 June 2021 and 17 April 2022
• Creating a Discord account on 3 May 2022
• Using the Facebook Messenger app between 11 September 2021 and 30 April 2022
• Using the Instagram and Messenger app between 13 September 2022 and 7 February 2023
• Failing to make his mobile phone available for inspection on 8 February 2023
• Failing to comply with notification requirements of the sex offender's register by using an alias online between 11 September 2021 and 30 April 2022

Evans is scheduled to appear at Swansea Crown Court on 9 February for a trial and preparation hearing on the indecent images charge. He will be sentenced on the other eight charges following any trial.

Evans was remanded on unconditional bail until his next court appearance.
