Rebekah Edwards had pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice over mobile phones which were hidden. Her son Lewis Edwards was given a life sentence last year for grooming young girls online.
A mother has been jailed for helping her police officer son who used Snapchat to groom more than 200 girls. Lewis Edwards, 25, was given a life sentence last year and was sentenced for further offences on Tuesday. Edwards is a former South Wales Police officer and is serving a minimum of 12 years after he lost an appeal against his sentence in May. His mother Rebekah Edwards, 48, had pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.
' Rebekah Edwards initially handed over two phones, but she was then asked by police about a report they'd received of a phone in the garden. 'I buried the phone in the garden when I buried the cat,' she told officers. Mr Griffiths told the court the recovered device 'was a black mobile telephone with a smashed screen'. Due to its damage the phone was 'incapable of examination', the prosecution said.
