It was a busy week in courts across Wales leading up to the Easter break.
Here are some of the criminals who have been jailed in the past six days.
Alan Knight
He groomed a child he met online by buying her a teddy bear, jewellery, and chocolates before taking her to a hotel for sex.
Knight befriended the girl on Snapchat and started taking her on Sunday afternoon drives before checking them into a Travelodge while she told her parents she was with a friend.

The sentencing of three Londoners at Swansea Crown Court is the latest example of what is known as county lines drug dealing , where organised criminal gangs from big English cities extend their operations into smaller Welsh cities and towns.
They advertised themselves as a 'Deliveroo' service for heroin and cocaine.
Look who got locked up last month
Richard Marsh
He sexually assaulted a woman as she slept and repeatedly sexually abused a child by kissing her and touching her breasts.
The 38-year-old denied all the charges against him but was found guilty by a jury following a trial at Cardiff Crown Court of seven sexual offences involving two victims.

Jason Cunliffe, David Alford, Kyle Lewis, and Darren Palmer
They are the bragging bosses of a cold-calling company which ripped off more than 1,000 people lived a “Champagne lifestyle” of partying and fast cars.
The self-styled ‘Wolves of Wind Street’ targeted elderly people and ripped them off for hundreds of pounds each in an “audacious fraud”.
They were jailed this week for their crimes.
Paul Clement
The NHS worker took a £90 taxi from a night out in Cardiff to Swansea where he raped an underage girl.
Clement was told by Judge Peter Heywood that his actions on May 24, 2017, “clearly had a significant effect” on his victim, who had given evidence against the 39-year-old from the dock of Swansea Crown Court .
Sheena Hawkins
The mum-of-five was caught trying to sneak drugs into prison in her bra when she went to visit her ex-partner.
Hawkins, 31, initially refused to be searched and gave a false name and date of birth to the police.
Sentencing her at Newport Crown Court , Judge Neil Bidder QC said people tempted to take drugs into prison “must be deterred”.
Noamane Debbagh
The aspiring nurse sold wraps which he assured customers contained Class A drugs but they were actually filled with other white and brown powders that looked similar.
The court heard police went to the defendant’s flat in Splott Road on August 28 last year to arrest him on suspicion of robbery.
While they were there they found wraps under the bed, on the floor, and the windowsill. Officers also found an open tub of baking soda.
Kelvin McCann
An experienced nurse was left feeling frightened and intimidated when McCann pulled a knife out of his pocket after disagreeing with her assessment findings.
Psychiatric nurse Rachel Rushforth was alone in the assessment room with Kelvin McCann when he produced the 6in silver-bladed knife and pointed it at her.
Anthony Vlahos
Vlahos was jailed for pushing an 85-year-old man to the floor and kicked him before stealing his bank cards and keys and driving off in his car.
His co-defendant Katherine Pitt was also locked up for her role in the terrifying attack on the pensioner in Abergavenny on February 14.
Jamie Ball
Ball was sent to prison for carrying a ten inch hunting knife in Newport .
Ball told officers he bought the knife the previous day because he was “paranoid” and wanted to carry it for his own protection.
Judge Bidder said it “really does cause concern” he was in possession of a large knife while taking such medication.
