Carmarthenshire pensioner jailed for abducting and drugging 15‑year‑old girl
Dyfed‑Powys Police said Richard Knight, of Pendine, was sentenced to three years and nine months after admitting a string of drug offences and making indecent images of children, and after changing his plea to guilty on the child abduction charge moments before his trial was due to begin at Swansea Crown Court.
Police said the case began in the early hours of 11 April 2022 when a distressed mother called officers after receiving a panicked phone call from her 15‑year‑old daughter, who said she wanted to come home after taking drugs at Knight’s house.
Officers forced entry into the property when they got no answer at the door. Inside, they found a small cannabis grow but no sign of Knight or the girl. Police later learned Knight had driven the teenager home and he was arrested when he returned to the address.
Dyfed‑Powys Police said Knight was initially arrested on suspicion of drink‑driving, possession of cannabis with intent to supply and supplying cannabis to a child. A further search uncovered a range of controlled drugs and several digital devices.
The victim later told officers she believed Knight knew she was 15 and knew she would not be telling her mother where she was going. She described being given a range of drugs, including some placed on a fruit pastel sweet. Police said CCTV showed Knight buying fruit pastels in a local shop shortly before picking her up.
A forensic examination of Knight’s devices uncovered 1,101 indecent images of children, including 122 in category A, the most serious classification. Officers also seized six different types of Class A drugs from the property. Police drugs experts valued the cannabis grow at between £6,000 and £20,000.
Knight admitted the drug offences in April 2025 and later pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children. He denied abducting the girl until the day his trial was due to start in January 2026, when he changed his plea.
Detective Constable Jon Gouldson, who led the investigation, said Knight had “groomed a young and vulnerable girl for his own satisfaction”.
“There is no doubt that Richard Knight knew that taking this 15‑year‑old girl into his home was wrong and ultimately amounted to child abduction,” he said.
“Taking a child without a parent’s permission is a crime. There are no grey areas here. We welcome today’s sentencing and want to be clear that arranging to take a child without a parent’s permission, or creating or possessing indecent images of children, is illegal and has serious consequences.”
Police said the case shows the lengths officers will go to in order to investigate child‑protection offences and bring offenders to justice.

Man who posed as teenage boy jailed for abducting child and sexually assaulting three others
Kai Giggie — who also uses the name Kyle Wellburn, originally from Aberdeen but living in Bridgend before his arrest — was sentenced to three years in prison at Newport Crown Court after admitting child abduction, sexual activity with a child and two further child sexual assaults.
Giggie, whose police mugshot shows him looking far younger than his true age, targeted boys by posing as a vulnerable teenager aged between 13 and 16. He told elaborate lies about being in foster care, fleeing abusive homes and being unable to attend school, all to win sympathy and trust.
South Wales Police said the offences took place between June and July 2025.
Abducted 12‑year‑old and took him to London
The court heard Giggie groomed his first victim — a 12‑year‑old boy — by pretending to be a teenager of a similar age. He bought him food, spent money on him and pressured him into travelling to London by train, claiming he had already paid for the tickets.
The boy lied to his mother about where he was, and the pair did not return to Wales until late that night. When the child’s mother became worried, Giggie tried to calm her by pretending to be railway staff on the phone.
Lies, manipulation and threats
Prosecutors said Giggie used a similar pattern with other boys, including a 13‑year‑old he told he had been raped and placed in foster care. He also threatened to harm himself to gain sympathy from the boy’s mother.
He claimed to have a fake ID that allowed him to buy vapes and told families he had been advised not to attend school.
Once he had gained their trust, he sexually assaulted them. He also assaulted two other boys — aged 13 and 14 — in separate incidents.
Giggie was arrested and answered “no comment” in interview.
‘Most manipulative individual I’ve seen’ — detective
Detective Constable Julia Page, who led the investigation, said she had never encountered someone who went to such lengths to deceive children and their families.
“In all my career in policing, I have never come across an individual so manipulative,” she said. “He took advantage of them at their most vulnerable ages and used this to dominate them for his own benefit.”
She praised the victims for their bravery and urged anyone with concerns to come forward.
Judge: ‘Sustained and sophisticated campaign of manipulation’
Recorder Andrew Hammond told Giggie he had carried out a “sustained and sophisticated campaign of manipulation” to get close to children.
“You lied about your age, background and circumstances,” he said. “You told lies to these children, their parents and grandparents about being a teenager and being in local authority care.”
Giggie, now of HMP Parc, has a previous conviction for sexually abusing a 14‑year‑old boy in Aberdeen.
Alongside the prison sentence, he was handed a 10‑year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, a 10‑year restraining order, and will be subject to sex offender notification requirements.
