A man from Swansea has been jailed after he took part in sexual communication with who he believed were three underage girls.
43-year-old Adrian Fine, from the city centre, sent sexual messages to three online accounts in March of 2025. The accounts were in fact decoys being run by a ‘paedophile hunter’ group.
After pleading guilty to three counts of attempted sexual communications with a child, Fine has been sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Detective Constable Kelly Hurley said:
“Adrian Fine was fully of the belief that the accounts he was messaging belonged to children.
“It remains staggering that there are people like Fine out there who will be told that they are talking to a child and yet still persist in attempting to have a sexual conversation.
“He is clearly a threat to children and so it is therefore only right that he is going to prison.”
