'Predatory' man jailed for getting young girls to perform sex acts online

A man from Cardiff has been sentenced to six year imprisonment after inciting young girls to engage in sexual activity online.

James Stewart Jones, 40, of Beulah Road, Rhiwbina, Cardiff was sentenced at Newport Crown Court on Friday after pleading guilty to four counts of inciting a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity, two inciting a child under the age of 15 to engage in sexual activity, one count of possession of and to distribute indecent images of children and three counts of possessing indecent images of children.

Experts found indecent images of children in Jones' possession, which led to the police being able to protect two young victims, aged 13 and 11, one in the UK and one in the US.
