Cardigan Man Sentenced for Sexual Activity with a Child

A Cardigan man has been sentenced to more than three years in prison and must register indefinitely as a sex offender after admitting sexual activity with a child.

Thomas Phillips, of Maes Glas, Cardigan, was sentenced to three years and 11 months in custody after pleading guilty to the charge of sexual activity with a child.

The Western Telegraph understands that the offense took place in February 2021 and involved a girl in her early teens.

Phillips, 30, initially denied the charges and was due to stand trial for the offense on January 30 this year. Just before his trial, he admitted the offense and was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court on February 17.

He was sentenced to three years and 11 months imprisonment. The notification requirements of the sex offender register apply indefinitely.
