The Fforestfach Paedophile, Guy Brigdale, from Swansea has been incarcerated after being apprehended for exchanging sexual communications using a fake account he believed to be a 14-year-old girl.
Guy Brigdale, a 34-year-old resident of Fforestfach, admitted to many crimes related to texts he dispatched in January of this year, which encompassed:
- Attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child
- Attempting to cause/incite a girl aged 13-15 to engage in sexual activity
- Attempting to cause a child aged 13-15 to watch/look at an image of sexual activity
- Attempting to meet a child under the age of 16 following grooming
- Breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order
For the combined offences, Guy Brigdale has been handed an extended 12-year sentence.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Stanway said:
“The messages sent by Guy Brigdale, to an individual he believed was a child, were abhorrent.
“There is no place for anyone who willingly engages in sexual communication with a child in our society. It is very fortunate that this wasn’t a real child involved in the conversation, as they could have been posed a great danger by someone like Guy Brigdale.
“The right place for him is prison, as is highlighted by this lengthy sentence.”
