Pembroke Man Admits Sexual Offence Against Teenage Girl

A 48-year-old Pembroke man has pleaded guilty to sexually touching a teenage girl without her consent. ⚖️

Andrew Russell, of Elm Grove, appeared at Swansea Crown Court today (Apr 29), where he admitted a charge of adult sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 17, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

The court heard that the offence took place between January 1, 2021, and June 4, 2021, when Russell intentionally touched the girl in a sexual manner without her consent.

Two further charges involving allegations of penetration were ordered to lie on file after the Crown Prosecution Service accepted Russell’s guilty plea to the third offence.

Russell was granted unconditional bail and is due to be sentenced at Swansea Crown Court on May 23. 📅

The complainant’s anonymity is protected by law under the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992.
