A convicted paedophile absconded after failing to inform probation services of his location
Llantrisant: So, there’s this guy, Rhys Jones, who really messed up. He was already in trouble for having indecent images of kids and was supposed to be monitored. But guess what? He just vanished without telling anyone where he was.
Back in 2022, he got a community order from Cardiff Crown Court. They were trying to give him a chance, but he just kept breaching the rules. He even had to do a bunch of community service and attend rehab sessions. But instead of sticking to the plan, he left his place at the Three Saint Hotel and went off the radar.
He was missing for a few days, from September 27 to October 2, before the cops finally caught up with him. The court was not happy at all. They said he was a risk to kids and might even hurt family members. His lawyer tried to say he felt bad about it all, but the judge wasn’t buying it.
In the end, the judge gave him 10 months in prison. Since he’s already been in custody for a while, he’ll be out soon. It’s a wild situation, and it just shows how serious these issues are.
