A Llanilar man faces a long prison sentence after he admitted sexually assaulting five children.

Jared Perry, 32, was listed to be sentenced at Swansea Crown Court last Friday. But Judge Paul Thomas said he needed a psychiatrist to assess the level of risk that Perry posed to children in the future.

Perry, of Talardeg, admitted sexually assaulting both boys and girls. In all, Perry admitted 10 sexual assaults. One of his victims was just nine years old.

Judge Thomas said a psychiatrist had diagnosed Perry as suffering from “psychological distress” but did not believe that that had anything to do with his offending.

Judge Thomas said he had a public duty to assess the danger that Perry presented going forwards.

Perry will be sentenced on 14 December and was further remanded in custody until then.
