" He exploited all my insecurities, " She Said .
Sentencing him to two years imprisonment, suspended for two years, Judge Niclas Parry said he accepted Carwyn Roberts struggled with his own " vulnerabilities" but said his behaviour had been " cruel and despicable".

" The whole experience led her to anxiety and desperation. "
Roberts was ordered to pay More Than £3,000 court costs.
A Restraining Order , banning him from contacting his victim or Her Daughter was made.
In a statement, The Crown Prosecution Service's Rhian Jones, dubbed the manipulation " staggering".
