Hadyn Phillips, 19, had been ordered to live at hostel in Llandegai as part of his second chance, but judge says he must now go to prison
A “predatory” teenager who had sex with an underage schoolgirl has been locked up after failing to make the most of a second chance at freedom.
Haydn Phillips, now 19, had previously been convicted of sexual activity with a child after he slept with an underage girl in 2014.
He was ordered to live at the Ty Newydd bail hostel in Llandegai on the basis that it had been thought there was a chance he could turn his life round.
But since then he had become difficult and was refusing help and being abusive and threatening to the staff at the hostel.
He had been described in earlier pre-sentence reports as a “predator of young girls” and had a record of harassment.
Today, he was sentenced at Mold Crown Court to 21 months in a young offenders institute and ordered to register with the police as a sex offender for 10 years.
A sexual offences prevention order was also made.
Judge Parry said that he had been persuaded by his previous guilty plea and his mental health difficulties and his improved relationship with his social worker that he should be given a chance.
“But the warnings proved to be right,” the judge told him.
Within a very short time of the order being made he was refusing help and was being abusive and threatening to staff at the hostel where he lived.
He ignored warnings and the judge told him: “It is quite clear that the public will not be protected by you being given anything other than an immediate custodial sentence.”
The October hearing was told that he had considered having intercourse with a young girl to be a bit of fun.
The defendant admitted having sex with a teenage girl, but earlier allegations of rape were dropped.
