Here is our monthly round-up of the criminals who have been locked up for some of the most serious crimes in Wales over the past month. They include several thugs who attacked partners, or former partners, including one who threw his young girlfriend down the stairs.
There was also a trusted school worker who downloaded vile videos of children being abused, and a man who attacked and repeatedly punched a female police officer.
WalesOnline also covered the case of two conmen who ran a fake modelling agency and ruined the lives of several women after exposing intimate pictures of them online for cash. The victims had no idea they were involved in a scam until it was too late. You can get more courts news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
