Trawsfynydd man jailed after sexual assault against girl

A 32-year-old man has been jailed for six years for sexually assaulting a young girl.

Jordan Swaine, of Gwyndy, Trawsfynydd, appeared before Mold Crown Court for sentencing today (Friday, August 9th).

He was found guilty of sexual activity with a child, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, causing a child to watch sexual activity and supplying cannabis.

Swaine was working at a campsite in 2021 when he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl having repeatedly asked her for sex, despite knowing her age.

On another occasion in his van, he gave the victim cannabis and showed her pornographic videos on his phone, before locking the doors and pressured her to perform oral sex on him.

Despite being too scared to tell anyone at the time, she bravely came forward in January 2022.

He was today jailed for six years and received a lifetime restraining order to protect the victim.

He was also made subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Detective Constable Ifan Jones said: “Swaine took advantage of a vulnerable girl, knowing she was under the age of 16.

“His actions have caused suffering and trauma on her and her family. She was incredibly brave to come forward and has been courageous throughout the court process.

“I hope that today’s result gives her the reassurance that he is no longer able to reach her, or anybody else.

“We take all reports of sexual assault seriously, and would urge anyone who has been a victim, no matter how long ago, to come forward. We will support you.”
