ANDREW ROBERTS FROM BRYMBO WRECKS WREXHAM WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 5-YEAR-OLD BOY

In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Brymbo and the wider Wrexham area, Andrew Stephen Roberts, aged 37 and residing in Argoed, Brymbo, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a young boy. The incident, which took place last year, involved Roberts allegedly pulling down the trousers of a five-year-old child and committing an indecent act upon him. The details of the case emerged during a trial at Mold Crown Court, where a jury reached a verdict by a majority of ten to two in favor of conviction.

Following the guilty verdict, Judge Philip Hughes decided to grant Roberts bail while awaiting sentencing. However, the judge issued a stern warning that Roberts could face a prison sentence due to the severity of the crime. The case gained further attention when prosecutor Oliver King revealed that police had been called to investigate after the victim reportedly implicated Roberts in a similar incident involving another young boy.

During police questioning, the victim stated that Roberts had also done the same to him, which added weight to the prosecution's case. Roberts, however, maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, denying any wrongdoing and asserting that such an incident never occurred. Despite his denial, the court ordered Roberts to register as a sex offender with the police, a standard procedure in cases of this nature.

Defense lawyer Paul Smith argued before the jury that there was no evidence to support the allegations and insisted that Roberts was innocent of the charges. The case has left the local community in shock, raising concerns about safety and the protection of children in the Brymbo and Wrexham areas. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to determine the appropriate punishment for Roberts, who now faces serious legal consequences for his actions.
