Hughes was sentenced to two years and four months in prison when she was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday 10 June, 2025.
PC Wilson from South Wales Police said: “We have plain clothes patrols across South Wales every day looking out for criminal activity like this. I’m pleased to see this sentence allotted to her and hope this allows her the time to reflect on his actions.”
