A MAN from Gwynedd has been jailed for sexually assaulting a girl.

Jordan Swaine, 32, of Gwyndy, Trawsfynydd, was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment at Mold Crown Court on Friday (August 9).

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 sexually assaulted the girl in 2021.

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

His offending came to light when the victim made disclosures in January 2022.

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

In addition to his prison sentence, Swaine was handed a lifelong restraining order to protect the victim.

He was also made subject of an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

Detective Constable Ifan Jones, of North Wales Police, said: “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.”

If you have been a victim of a sexual offence, you can report it to North Wales Police via the force’s website or by calling 101, or via the Live Fear Free helpline on 0808 80 10 800.
