**A Predator Among Us: Keeping Our Community Safe**
🚨 **Warning from Swansea Crown Court** 🚨
Stephen Cannon, a dangerous offender with a history in Scotland, is back in the news. Convicted previously for serious offenses, Cannon’s troubling actions have made headlines again. He recently moved to Wales and was found guilty of preying on young boys in the Ammanford area.
Here’s what happened:
– Cannon targeted two 13-year-olds, purchasing vapes for them before committing acts of sexual assault.
– He’s previously used platforms like Facebook to lure vulnerable teens, which led to strict orders limiting his interaction with minors.
The judge in the case highlighted the significant threat Cannon poses, stating that managing his risk in the community remains a major challenge. Cannon received a six-year sentence, which includes both custody time and extended supervision.
Despite his past, Cannon’s issues persist, and he is now a registered sex offender for life. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
