DAVID LLEWELLYN AND SHOCKING INCEST-THEMED PORNOGRAPHY IN CARDIFF
In 2025, A man named David Llewellyn, aged 39, who was previously found with indecent images of children, has been convicted of sexually assaulting two teenage women by touching their bottoms.One of the victims reported suffering from sleepless nights due to the incident and felt scared to go out at night.
Llewellyn made sexual comments towards his victims before assaulting them and whispered in their ears, which made the victims feel uncomfortable and anxious around him.
During court proceedings at Cardiff Crown Court, one victim explained how Llewellyn got 'right in her face' and cornered her when she tried to back away.
She also recounted how he 'cupped' her bottom and smirked, telling her 'Come on, you love it.' The second victim said he also touched her bottom and responded 'Yes, I know' when she accused him of sexual assault.
Llewellyn, of Tyndall Street, Butetown, Cardiff, denied two counts of sexual assault but was found guilty after a trial.
The court heard he has four previous convictions, including making indecent images of children in 2018, resulting in him being subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which he has breached multiple times.
One of the victims' statements was read to the court, highlighting her fear and sleepless nights.
In mitigation, his lawyer argued that Llewellyn's situation was bleak, and his supported accommodation was at risk if he was sent to prison.
The judge, Carl Harrison, described the offences as too serious for anything other than an immediate custodial sentence, and Llewellyn was sentenced to six months imprisonment.
The court also noted that he had minimized his actions during a probation interview.
Back in 2022, David Llewellyn, a chef residing in Cardiff, has once again found himself before the court four years after his previous conviction for possessing indecent images of children.
His recent appearance stems from police discovering him using incognito mode on his device, attempting to hide his internet activity, during a home visit.
Llewellyn, aged 36 at the time of this incident, was previously convicted in 2018 of possessing indecent images of children and material classified as extreme pornography.
His punishment for those offences included a 16-month prison sentence and the imposition of a 10-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO).
This order explicitly prohibited him from using incognito mode on any device, with the intention of preventing him from hiding potentially illegal or harmful content.
On March 22 of this year, police officers paid an unannounced visit to Llewellyn's residence in Connaught Road, Cathays, Cardiff, to verify his compliance with the SHPO.
During the visit, Llewellyn handed over his mobile phone to the officers.
Detective Constable Jones then examined the device, opening the Google browser.
Almost immediately, the officer noticed that the last site visited was a pornographic website, with content related to incest themes.
Importantly, the browser had been set to incognito mode, a setting designed to prevent browsing history from being recorded.
Further investigation revealed that the device's internet history contained no record of the website, consistent with the use of incognito mode.
Llewellyn was subsequently interviewed under caution, during which he admitted that he had intentionally put his browser into incognito mode.
Although he claimed he did not do this deliberately, he accepted that it was activated at the time police arrived.
Llewellyn's breach of the SHPO was clear, and the authorities noted that he had previously been cautioned in 2021 for an earlier breach, which served as a warning from law enforcement.
Prosecutor Joshua Scouller highlighted this history during proceedings at Cardiff Crown Court, emphasizing that Llewellyn's actions contravened the strict conditions set out in his SHPO.
In his mitigation statement, solicitor Paul Hewitt described the impact of Llewellyn's earlier imprisonment on his personal circumstances.
Hewitt explained that Llewellyn had limited contact with his family and had been attempting to rebuild his life after his release.
The lawyer highlighted Llewellyn's commitment to his work as a trainee chef, noting that his hours had recently been reduced to approximately 46 to 50 hours weekly, down from much longer shifts.
Hewitt also mentioned financial difficulties and debts as ongoing challenges.
Additionally, he pointed out that police service had retained Llewellyn's phone for three months before returning it, causing further frustration and delay.
The sentencing judge, Recorder IWL Jones, addressed the court, expressing concern about Llewellyn’s previous cautions and current behaviour.
The judge remarked that the earlier warning should have served as a stark indication to Llewellyn to exercise caution.
While acknowledging Llewellyn’s remorse and struggles with depression, the judge emphasized that engaging in such behaviour, especially in light of prior warnings, posed significant risks.
In conclusion, the court sentenced Llewellyn to a two-year community order.
His community service includes 100 hours of unpaid work and 15 days of rehabilitation activities.
Additionally, he was ordered to pay £420 in prosecution costs and a statutory victim services surcharge, with the payments to be made within three months.
This case underscores the importance of complying with court orders and the ongoing vigilance needed to prevent the concealment of harmful online activity.
