The knife-men, killers, abusers, thugs and flashers locked up in Wales this month

April was another busy month for the courts in Wales with 65 criminals sent to jail for some of the most serious crimes. Here is our monthly round-up of the criminals who have been locked up.

One of the most upsetting cases was the case of intoxicated driver Harley Whiteman who hit and killed a 13-year-old boy who was just standing outside a shop with a group of his friends. Whiteman went back to the scene and tried to prevent people treating Kaylan Hippsley, who died from his injuries in hospital.

The list also includes a man who struck his wife in the face with a pint glass after she found out he had been talking to another woman, and a thug who poured petrol on his ex-partner and threatened to kill her.

There was also the teen who stabbed a man he'd met online 14 times with a kitchen knife, and a woman who an intoxicated woman who bit and punched a committee member of a working men's club.

Harley Whiteman

The intoxicated driver hit and killed a 13-year-old boy on the pavement before returning to the scene and drunkenly tried to prevent people from treating him. The "cheeky chappie" suffered multiple fatal injuries as a result of the collision and died days later in hospital.

Teenager Kaylan Hippsley was struck and killed by a Ford Fiesta driven by Harley Whiteman, 19, on Brecon Road, Hirwaun, at around 6.15pm on February 29, as he was standing outside a Co-op store with his friends. He never regained consciousness despite the best efforts of those at the scene as the defendant drove off at speed. Read the family's heartbreaking victim impact statements here.

Peter Briody

The husband struck his wife in the face with a pint glass after she found out he had been talking to another woman. The injury left her with cuts to her eyebrow, which required stitches, and swelling to her eye.

Briody, 44, wounded his wife at their home in Barry on June 2 last year after he armed himself with the glass. He was initially given a suspended sentence by the court but it was later discovered he had exposed his penis at a hotel for which he was facing legal proceedings.

Jonathan Jones

He took a kitchen knife to a probation office "for his own personal safety", a court has heard. Jonathan Jones has a history of carrying knives and weapons in public places going back 20 years.

The defendant's advocate told Swansea Crown Court his client was appearing in the dock on his 40th birthday and being in prison for that milestone had given him a "degree of objectivity" about his life and made him realise he cannot continue to offend in the way he has been. Jones was sent down for eight months.

Ethan Rich

The sex offender who targets teenage girls wants to join the elite fighting unit the French Foreign Legion when he is released from prison, a court has heard.

Rich was handed an extended sentence of 12 years and nine months after returning to sexual offending just months after being released from his last prison sentence.

Daniel Adams

The thug poured petrol on his partner and threatened to kill her after beating her up and strangling her. He had previously damaged a number of items in the victim's home including a microwave, washing machine, and an iPhone.

Adams, 27, of Cwmbran, had been in a relationship with the victim for six years and they have a young child together. On January 28 police received a call at 12.03pm from a stressed-sounding woman who could be heard saying: "Leave me alone Dan" before the call came to an end.

Dexter Davies

The teenager stabbed a man he'd met online 14 times with a kitchen knife then lied that he'd been tricked into thinking his victim was a woman. The reason why Davies carried out the "frenzied attack" on the man he met on the dating site Grindr remains unknown.

Sending the defendant down for inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, a judge at Swansea Crown Court told the 18-year-old he was fortunate he was not being sentenced for murder. Davies showed no emotion during the hearing.

Sara Dale

The mum-of-11 repeatedly struck a woman to the face and chest with a metal dog chain as the victim sat in a car outside a pub. Dale believed the woman had been involved in an altercation with one of her daughters earlier that evening and had gone to the pub to confront her about it.

Cardiff Crown Court heard the victim suffered a serious eye injury in the beating as well as extensive bruising and swelling to her face and breasts. The defendant's barrister said the 41-year-old was "fiercely protective" of her children and her family was shocked by her behaviour. Read the sentencing here.

Anthony Rees

Shoppers at Lidl were confronted by the sight of two men having sex in car park bushes. They were caught mid-act by police who received reports of exposure.

Rees, 56, and Quentin Jones displayed little regard for bystanders after having sexual intercourse with each other in the car park of Lidl in Cowbridge Road West, in Cardiff, on August 1 last year. Police received reports of the two men exposing themselves and they attended the store in Canton.

The homeless man was found with more than £200 worth of crack cocaine after he was approached by police while sitting in a doorway. A court heard he has had lifelong issues with drugs and began taking crack cocaine when he was 10 years old.

The 59-year-old was detained by police at around 11.20am on February 16 in Bridgend town centre. He was searched and in a white hoodie police found 13 wraps of crack cocaine.

Sardi Hassani and Indrit Neziri

Cannabis plants worth up to £898,000 were discovered at a nightclub in Newport with the operation believed to be linked to an organised crime gang. More than 1,000 plants were discovered at the property with hundreds of pieces of equipment also found.

Hassani, 30, and Neziri, 25, were found working at the cannabis factory based at the Neon nightclub in Clarence Place on December 29 last year. Police raided the nightclub with a warrant issued under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Jamie Steele

He crashed his car into a shop while fleeing from police officers who had noticed a broken tail light on his car. At the time of the incident Steele was out of prison on licence following a series of brutal attacks which saw him punching and stabbing students and assaulting people in a pub.

Following his arrest for the driving offences the 29-year-old was recalled back to prison to serve the remainder of the nine-year sentence he was given for the previous drunken assaults. On that occasion the judge said he had no doubt Steele had "the capacity to kill".

Helen Lawrence

The intoxicated woman bit and punched a committee member of a working men's club after she was thrown out for tipping over tables and shouting at people. The victim was left with a broken finger as a result of the assault.

Lawrence, 46, attacked Serena Thorne at Tonyrefail Workingmen's Club on July 13 last year after her drunken antics led to her being asked to leave. She had already been banned from the club due to her past behaviour.

John Smith

The tipper truck driver reversed his vehicle into a police car and dragged it for yards before driving off. He was being pursued after stealing two cans of oil from a shop.

Smith, 35, was pursued by a security guard at What! in Rogerstone, Newport, on August 23 last year, but he was ignored by the thief who got into his tipper truck and drove off. The police were called and an officer came across the defendant in Abercarn, Caerphilly, later that day.

Jack Brenan

The wannabe "gangster" flew into a jealous rage and strangled his ex-girlfriend in front of her two-year-old daughter.

Brenan, also known as Jack Brennan, was supported in court by his new girlfriend but the judge questioned why anyone would want a relationship with a repeat domestic violence offender who has "small man syndrome".

Tremaine Actie

The serial domestic abuser told his victim "be quiet or I'll kill you" during a horrific attack that saw her lose consciousness twice.

Actie, 31, climbed on top of his former girlfriend before punching her, squeezing her throat and telling her she would soon "meet" a close family member who previously died.

Aaron Watkins

The fan of online conspiracy theories threw a chair at a doctor and went on to stab a man twice. It was said he had become isolated and spent five years without leaving his flat.

Watkins attended a doctor's appointment at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant on August 17 last year but became enraged with Dr Neil Scott after he told Watkins he had nothing medically wrong with him. The 34-year-old followed the doctor into his office and told him: "Because of feminine people like you and women is why society is in the state that it is". He then pulled off the doctor's glasses and threw a chair at him.

Tyrone Harding

The whereabouts of the "prolific sex offender" who is banned from going to every park in Swansea was unknown for more than five weeks after he turned off his phone and stopped reporting to the police. Harding has a history of exposing himself in public and of disobeying court orders designed to protect the public.

Sending the 45-year-old back to prison a judge said police needed to keep stringent controls on him when he is in the community and said the risks he poses to members of the public are obvious. He said Harding seemed "undeterrable" in his offending.

Gillian Gregory, Christopher Clark and John Whyte

The hapless gang that included Wylfa nuclear power station in their string of botched heists left behind DNA and tools at the scenes of their crimes. Four men, had travelled from Manchester to target industrial sites on Anglesey, where graffiti and faeces were left at the sites.

The crooks claimed to police they were on the island either to "explore" or for a football match, reports North Wales Live. But an angle grinder found in their possession suggested otherwise, as noted wryly by the judge during sentencing at Caernarfon Crown Court.

Brendon Reynolds

The jealous man smashed his way into a former partner's house in the dead of night and fought another male who he accused of "trying to get on my missus". Reynolds was subject to a restraining order at the time of the incident which banned him from contacting the woman.

Swansea Crown Court heard Reynolds also has another restraining order in place in regard to a different ex-partner and his barrister said the 30-year-old realises he has issues around "trust and paranoia" that he needs to address. Elin Morgan, prosecuting, said Reynolds was made the subject of a restraining order in respect of his former partner in December last year with the order to last for two years.

Amet Muca

The gardener was discovered at a sophisticated cannabis factory with more than 130 plants which was housed in an old fancy dress shop. The cannabis grower had travelled to the UK from Albania after being "seduced" on the internet.

Muca, 22, was found living at the cannabis factory in Upper Clifton Street, Cardiff, on January 31 where cannabis was being grown on an "industrial scale". When officers arrived at the premises they discovered it had been sealed with a wooden panel wall and expanding foam.

Jonathan Jones

He took a kitchen knife to a probation office "for his own personal safety". Jones has a history of carrying knives and weapons in public places going back 20 years.

The defendant's advocate told Swansea Crown Court his client was appearing in the dock on his 40th birthday and being in prison for that milestone had given him a "degree of objectivity" about his life and made him realise he cannot continue to offend in the way he has been. Jones was sent down for eight months.

David McCauley

The teenager was found in possession of £500 worth of heroin and crack cocaine and a Zombie-style knife after he attempted to flee from police. Months before he assaulted a woman with a picture frame at sheltered accommodation.

McCauley, 19, was arrested near his mother's home in Cardiff on November 19 after they were called to a domestic disturbance between the defendant and his mother. Upon being seen in the street, he ran and was chased by officers who detained him and searched him.

Edgaras Sinkus

The money lender broke into a man's house and assaulted him before demanding his bank card and PIN. He later threatened to make the victim's daughter work as a prostitute "for the rest of his life" in order to pay off his debt.

Sinkus, 37, robbed Petras Kudriasovas after breaking into his house in Cardiff in December 2022 and threatening to "rip his head off". He forced him to get up, get dressed and frogmarched to the defendant's home while being assaulted on the way, and was kept there until 5am.

Carl Hill

The serial burglar stole more than £6,000 after breaking into a Co-Op store by smashing a window with a crowbar. He returned three days later to the same store and stole a further £700.

Hill, 37, targeted the Co-Op shop in Machen, in Caerphilly, on two occasions, on September 7 and 10, 2022. The thief was caught on CCTV, but was wearing dark clothing and covered his head.

Nathan Brown

The revving driver left cyclist Philip Pike with broken bones after knocking him off his bike. Mr Pike's partner says the "physical and mental toll" of the accident was partly responsible for her soulmate's death nine months later.

Brown, 26, of Bridge Street, Denbigh, who took his partner's Mini without permission, had been driving in Prestatyn but failed to stop or report the accident. He had no valid licence or insurance. He collided with Mr Pike, knocking him off his bike and onto the Mini's bonnet. Read his sentencing here.

Ryan Whitehead

The heroin and crack dealer was caught after police responded to reports of a car crash and found him sat in the vehicle sniffing nitrous oxide canisters, a court has heard. When Whitehead was searched he was found to have 86 ready-to-sell Class A deals in his bum bag.

The 30-year-old's barrister told Swansea Crown Court the defendant had had a "deep-rooted cannabis problem" for 12 years or more, and that his cannabis habit led to debt which led to dealing in Class A drugs. Read his sentencing here.

Bahaaelden Ibrahim

The taxi driver sexually assaulted an intoxicated woman travelling in his vehicle and continued attacking her after she started crying. The incident left the woman a changed person and no longer able to trust men.

Ibrahim, 44, sexually assaulted the victim in Cardiff on November 7, 2021, after she had been out in the city centre watching a Wales rugby international. During the course of the journey he grabbed her by the wrist and forced her hand onto his exposed erect penis.

Alexander Miles

He armed with knuckledusters threated to kill his pregnant former partner and her parents during a terrifying ordeal in the victims' own home. Miles also made sick dark web rape threats.

The 30-year-old's barrister said the defendant was struggling with his mental health and with coming to terms with changes in "family dynamics", and he invited the court to impose a sentence that was "more rehabilitative" in nature. Sending Miles to prison for 21 months a judge at Swansea Crown Court said the victims must have been left "fearing for their lives" during the prolonged incident.

Rhys Jones

The young drug dealer was found with more than £35,000 worth of heroin after police saw him hiding under a pile of clothes. He later committed a burglary where he took a car and a bank card, while on bail.

Jones, 21, was arrested at his home in Pontlottyn, Caerphilly, on September 2 last year after he was found hiding in the living room behind a pile of clothes. An officer noticed a blue carrier bag in a shoe and upon examination, a ball of brown powder was discovered.

Liam Skym

The drug driver crashed his car the morning after a cocaine binge and seriously injured a woman who was sitting in the passenger seat. He later fled the scene on foot after a witness described him "panicking".

Skym, 28, was driving on Caerphilly Mountain when he clipped the curb with a Ford Focus and left the road before colliding with a tree. His passenger Lisa Davies helped him escape from the car but he left her after she collapsed.

Ashley Morrison and Benjamin McConway

The pair drove around Swansea in the early hours of the morning looking for someone to rob before targeting a lone female walking home.

Morrison andMcConway had already picked up a sex worker in the city centre with the intention of robbing her before spotting their victim and confronting her with a claw hammer and demanding her purse.

David Devlin

The paedophile carried out years of sexual abuse against a girl which began when she was just six years old. As a result of the abuse, she tried to take her own life on two occasions.

Devlin, 45, of Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly, took advantage of his victim and told her not to report his sexual deviancy or he would be sent to prison. The abuse culminated with the defendant forcing the victim to perform a sex act on him and sexually assaulting her. Read his sentencing here.

Ashley Forbes

The designer clothes salesman was arrested in his shop after police discovered he had supplied up to £4,000 to a downstream drug dealer. He was also found in possession of cocaine, cannabis and a tick list which indicated he was owed more than £8,000.

Forbes, 26, was arrested by officers at his designer clothes shop in Blackwood High Street on January 27 this year. He came to the attention of the authorities after messages were found on another drug dealer's phone, which were related to the supply of cocaine.

Regan Ferris

The bricklayer plunged a knife into a man then told his sister he felt "euphoria" and had "taken a man's life". Ferris stabbed his victim after arming himself with a steak knife during an argument at a friend's house.

Swansea Crown Court heard the man Ferris stabbed sustained a 10cm-long stab wound to the shoulder and upper chest area and suffered a collapsed lung in the attack. Robin Rouch, prosecuting, said on the afternoon of January 21 this year Ferris was at a friend's house in Morrison in company with a number of other people.

Michael Griffiths

The intruder broke into a vulnerable man's house in the dead of night and walked into his bedroom. The victim woke to find Griffiths by his bed and when he challenged the intruder he was bizarrely asked if "Lilly" was in the house.

Weeks later Griffiths broke into a pensioner's house while she was attending a funeral and stole jewellery and a television. The defendant's advocate told Swansea Crown Court the burglaries had been committed in order to fund the alcohol and drug "binge" he was on at the time, and said his client was "ashamed and disgusted" by his own behaviour.

Logan Winter

The teenager was found in possession of £700-worth of crack cocaine after he assaulted a street warden when he was stopped while riding an electric bike. He was also found in possession of a 15in Rambo-style knife.

Winter, 18, was stopped in Cardiff city centre on October 5 last year by a street warden as part of an operation tackling the antisocial use of electric bikes. He was spoken to about riding on pedestrian streets and the need for a driving licence and insurance while riding a high-powered bike.

Joseph McLaggon

The "chemsex" drug dealer whose package was intercepted by airport officials has been ordered to pay back just £9,000 after benefiting by £600,000. He initially claimed he was selling drug GBL as a cleaning fluid.

The offending of McLaggon, 37, of Barry, came to light when customs officials at Stansted Airport found GBL in a package destined for his home. Police learned McLaggon had imported around 1,000 litres of GBL in six months.

Christopher Johns

A 14-year-old girl was knocked unconscious and left with serious injuries after she was struck by the driver suffering a hypoglycaemic attack. The victim was left unable to walk for nine days and was bed bound for months after the collision, which caused fractures to her pelvis, spine and ribs.

Johns, 61, knew he was likely to suffer an episode while driving in Aberdare on November 20, 2021, and struck a teenager as she was walking with her friend. He failed to stop at the scene and continued driving to his house a couple of miles away.

Jeffrey Cook

The former Ministry of Defence (MoD) official was jailed for misconduct in public office after it was found he took £70,000 in secret payments. Cook, 67, received cash payments and cars while employed at the Government department and seconded to a defence contractor called Paradigm.

At the time of the offence, MoD rules banned employees from accepting external paid employment.

Daniel Sykes

He entered a woman's property late at night and exposed himself to her before making an obscene comment. The terrified woman armed herself with a pair of scissors and hid under a bed as Daniel Sykes tried to get into her home, but the intruder found her in the bedroom.

At the time of the terrifying Christmas incident the defendant was on police bail having just days earlier armed himself with a makeshift weapon fashioned from a large electrical socket in a sock and threatened members of his family. Sending the defendant down, a judge at Swansea Crown Court told him his late night intrusion into the woman's house must have left her "absolutely petrified". Read his sentencing here.

Dylan Forbes

He launched a brutal and unprovoked attack on a stranger at a bus stop then phoned the police to boast that he would be hard to find. The victim had been out with friends and colleagues celebrating his retirement from work when he was assaulted and left unconscious on the street.

Swansea Crown Court heard Forbes has a long history of violent offending including inflicting grievous bodily harm and multiple assaults occasioning actual bodily harm as well as batteries. The defendant's barrister told the court that since being released from his last custodial sentence he had taken steps to turn his life around including starting a business with a friend.

David Lazell

A man was randomly attacked after being grabbed from behind and placed in a chokehold as he was walking to work in Cardiff city centre. He called for help after being taken to the floor and members of the public came to assist him before the attacker fled.

Lazell, 45, assaulted Richard Coombs in Queen Street on August 23 last year as the victim walked to work at around 7am. He noticed the defendant making a beeline for him before he could feel arms being placed around his neck and being placed in a chokehold.

Roger Steele

He lured a teenage girl into his car before sexually assaulting her and has been sentenced to eight years in prison. Roger Steele, 49, came across the young woman while she was shopping in Rhyl.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard Steele had offered the girl a lift and he forced himself on her until she kicked him and ran away.

Gareth Druce

The rapist pretended to help a woman home before pocketing her keys and returning the same night to attack her. The victim was in no condition to consent.

Druce, 33, of Blaenau Ffestiniog, observed and followed the victim, who had become ill after drinking. Another man was helping her to walk home, but was struggling to keep her on her feet. Read his sentencing here.

Sharon Omamogho

The Nigerian woman was found to be living and working illegally in the UK after she applied for a job using a counterfeit Spanish passport. She was also found with various documents and a bank account in the name of a German national.

Omamogho, 48, submitted a job application for Eximius Live In Care on October 6 last year. It was in the name of a German national called Mercy Noack, but the defendant submitted a copy of her Spanish passport in the name of Mercy Igbinokhuo.

Robert Evans

The convicted paedophile sexually assaulted a young boy despite being barred from having contact with children. Following his arrest, he told his supervising officer "Sorry, this is the only one".

Evans, 58, of Cardiff, carried out horrendous sexual acts against his victim, which started when he was just eight years old. The victim described his memories of the abuse being "burned onto his mind". Read the sentencing here.

Richard Al-Rawazik

The violent offender wrestled a Taser off the policeman who was trying to arrest him and turned the weapon on another officer. Al-Rawazik aimed the stun gun's red laser sight at the female officer - an act known as "red dotting" - but was disarmed and taken to the floor before he could fire it.

The 39-year-old defendant - who previously used the name Richard Morgan - has a history of offending including affray, assaulting emergency workers, and robbery. Sending the dad-of-two down a judge told him he had a "violent temper and a dreadful attitude towards the police" and told him that was something he needed to tackle.

Mohammed Hussain

A father and son were found in possession of £12,000 worth of heroin after a police raid. Examinations of their phones revealed they had been dealing the drug.

Mohammed Hussain, 41, and Ismail Hussain, 18, were the subjects of a drugs warrant executed at a house in Newport on January 10. Upon entering the property, officers discovered heroin packed into wraps for onward supply.

Ras Thomas, Thomas Hagans, Crag Shaw and Simon Seeney

The crime group wore balaclavas and were armed with machetes carried out a professional and pre-planned burglary of a house in Cardiff before stealing £50,000 worth of jewellery from another home. They left their victims fearing for their lives after assaulting them, and leaving one man with a ruptured eardrum.

Ras Thomas, 42, of Cardiff, spearheaded the burglaries which saw Thomas Hagans, 41, Simon Seeney, 42, and his son Charlie Seeney, then 17, travel from Birmingham to steal a safe from a house belonging to a mechanic in St Mellons on June 14 last year.

Mark Peter Roberts

Jailed for 17 months after he threw a smoke bomb into a Welsh rehab centre because he was not allowed to see his "girlfriend". Roberts, 55, threw the device into the rehabilitation unit in Ruthin in the early hours of July 28, 2022.

The smoke bomb caused minor damage and sparked an evacuation. Police caught Roberts nearby and searched his home, where they found an axe, a gas mask and a crossbow.

Daniel Rhys Williams

He repeatedly kicked two female police officers leaving them battered and bruised. One of the PCs subsequently developed sepsis after the blows to her kidneys exacerbated an existing infection.

Williams has a history of violence including two assaults occasioning actual bodily harm, seven batteries, and two assaults on police officers. Sending the defendant down, a judge told him police had a right to go about their vital public duties without being assaulted by the likes of him.

Mark Glasgow

The father recruited his teenage son to sell cannabis which he imported from abroad. He was later found in possession of more than £10,000 worth of the drug when police raided his home.

The 43-year-old, and his son Niall, 19, were arrested at an address in Newport on October 6 last year after intelligence was received about cannabis supply. Messages on the defendants' phones revealed the father and son had been working in partnership, which involved thousands of pounds worth of cannabis.

Daniel Carmichael

The serial violent offender attacked a woman in broad daylight in the centre of Swansea. Carmichael, 34, had taken some "non-prescribed medication" before trying to rob the victim of her shopping, Swansea Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Brian Simpson said the victim, in her 40s, was targeted at around 2.30pm on February 22 while waiting for a taxi to take her home from a shopping trip. "She was standing in the doorway of the Grand Theatre in Singleton Street with two plastic bags of shopping," Mr Simpson told the court. "The defendant, whom she didn't know, walked up to her and came really close, which made her afraid. He was talking gibberish and shouted 'you robbed her' a few times.

Richard Ahearne

A long-running dispute between two families ended with violent scenes on a Swansea street. A judge described what happened as an "ugly and unpleasant incident" played out in public, and said he hoped all those involved were remorseful for their involvement.

Swansea Crown Court heard the background to the brawl was a "grievance" involving sons from two families and a woman. Craig Jones, prosecuting, said violence flared in the early hours of May 23 last year after Ann Marie Henchy turned up at a neighbour's address under the influence of alcohol and holding a glass. The prosecutor said Henchy wanted to speak to a man by the name of Matthew Ahearne in connection with a dispute involving him, her son, and a woman they had both been dating. Read what happened next here.

Mark Dursley

He beat and strangled a woman at a hotel after asking to borrow her mobile phone and then following her to her room. Dursley said he needed the mobile's torch to look for his missing bag of cannabis before launching the unprovoked attack which left his victim bleeding and unconscious on the floor.

Swansea Crown Court heard Dursley has a history of violent offending including wounding with intent, and a judge told him that if he continues to use violence there will come a time when a court may have no alternative but to find he is a dangerous offender who needs to be subject to an extended sentence to protect the public.

Keiran Bunce

The robber raided a corner shop at six in the morning demanding alcohol and threatening staff with a broken bottle. Bunce was caught in his getaway car a short time later and was said to be aggressive and abusive to officers, calling them child sex offenders.

Bunce has a long history of offending including burglaries, thefts, making threats to kill, and possession of weapons. In 2019 he was part of a gang of burglars who raided the home of a vicar, stealing the reverend's sermon and more than £50,000 of family heirloom jewellery, and brutally beating the family's dog.

Rhys Phillips

The narcissistic stalker spent months harassing a former partner after their relationship ended. Phillips bombarded his victim with unwanted emails, texts and voicemails, sent songs he had written for her, and told her he had put a "voodoo spell" on her to make her love him.

Swansea Crown Court heard the emotional abuse Phillips subjected the woman to had resulted in a devastating impact on her life and on her mental health. Sending the defendant to prison a judge said Phillips had engaged in gaslighting and victim-blaming, and said he had no doubt he posed a risk to women who he formed intimate relationships with.
