Man admits sexually assaulting young girl
A MAN is facing a lengthy prison sentence after he admitted sexually assaulting a young girl.
Ashley James Williams, of Garndolbenmaen, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault. Because his victim is under 13 years old, the starting point for the 31 year old’s sentence will be five years in prison.
Appearing via videolink from Altcourse Prison, in Liverpool, Williams showed no emotion as he spoke to confirm his name and guilty pleas.
Prosecutor Wyn Lloyd Jones told the Caernarfon Crown Court, on Monday, that he would offer no evidence in relation to a fifth charge, that of taking an indecent photograph of a child, and that the matter would lie on file.
The case was adjourned so reports could be prepared ahead of sentence. Williams will be sentenced at Mold Crown Court on Monday, 10 March.
