A Llandysul man will be sentenced next month after being caught attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, who was actually a decoy.

Toby Davies, of Glynrodyn, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 12 June.

The 23-year-old pleaded guilty at the hearing to a charge of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child in Carmarthenshire on 5 February 2023.

Davies communicated with a ‘decoy named Emily’ and discussed “masturbation and other sexual matters”, the court heard.

Magistrates adjourned the case for an all options probation pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Davies will be sentenced at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 2 July.

He must register with police for the sex offenders register ahead of sentencing.
