Assault and Sexual Assault *
Sentence
8 years and 3 months imprisonment plus 4 years on licence

On March 23, Ben Marshall, while drinking at a pub in Towyn, made loud and unpleasant comments before pulling out clumps of a woman's hair, punching her at least 20 times, and sexually assaulting her with force despite her pleas to stop. The victim has since described herself as a 'broken woman', experiencing recurring nightmares, panic attacks, and a fear of being in her own home.

Pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, and assault by penetration. Has 37 previous convictions. Judge described it as a prolonged and vicious assault, and labelled the sexual assault as particularly disgusting.

5 Jun 2023
Making threats to kill *
Sentence
14 months imprisonment suspended for 1.5 years, 200 hours unpaid work, 25 days rehabilitation activity

Callum Jones threatened to slit the throat of his retired neighbour, the victim, while carrying a knife during a conversation about a bicycle repair in Holyhead. He later returned and threatened to bring friends to kill him. Additionally, Jones possessed an imitation firearm (a BB gun resembling a Glock 17 pistol) and threatened to use it against the partner of a woman he met online, with whom he had consensual sex in a public toilet's baby changing room. These events occurred in November, while he was on bail for the earlier threat.

Pleased guilty. No previous convictions. Has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and traits of autism. Judge ordered rehabilitation to avoid imprisonment, including a three-month tagging requirement and restraining orders.

Jesse Crofts
8 Apr 2023
Supply of Cocaine *
Sentence
18 months imprisonment

Jesse Crofts was arrested at a Travelodge hotel in Holyhead on December 16, 2022, after police found him in possession of a small amount of cannabis and drug paraphernalia in his rucksack. Analysis of his mobile phone revealed messages indicating he was acting as a street dealer of cocaine on a limited basis, with most messages relating to the supply of cannabis. He was introduced to cannabis by his father at around age 13 and has a history of use, though he has reportedly reduced his intake and works in a cleaning business while supporting his grandmother and pregnant partner.

Pleaded guilty to cannabis possession and being concerned in the supply of cocaine. Has six previous convictions. Judge Timothy Petts noted his history of poor compliance with court orders and suggested that his involvement in drugs stemmed from debts related to cannabis use.

About these records: Each record is compiled from a published media report or other publicly available source, and reports a sentence as it was published. It is general information, not legal advice, and it is not a criminal record check: it must not be used to make decisions about anyone's employment, housing, credit or insurance.

Offence names marked with an asterisk (*) follow the wording used in the report and may not match the formal legal charge. A record does not suggest that the person named has committed any other offence. Convictions can be overturned, and sentences changed, on appeal after a report is published. Records that share a name are separate records and may concern different people.

Records are removed once a conviction is likely to be spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and older records are removed in any event after a maximum listing period. Our Editorial and Safeguards Policy explains how records are checked and what we never publish.

We are not affiliated with any court, government body or law enforcement agency. If you believe a record is inaccurate, out of date or should be removed, use the icon on the record or contact us. Every request is reviewed by a person.
