He pleaded guilty to each of the charges, and appeared at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court to be sentenced on January 10.
Gordon was sentenced to 12 weeks for each offence, running concurrently, due to the seriousness of the charges and his previous convictions. This was suspended for two years to allow Gordon to work with the probation service.
He must complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days and the Building Better Relationships programme. Gordon must also pay costs of £85 and a surcharge of £154.
