'A woman who abducted and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl has been jailed for breaching a court order.

Phoebe Pearce, 25, from Newport, groomed the schoolgirl, who was aged 14 at the time, after meeting her through Facebook two years ago.

She was warned off by the teenager's mum but Pearce lured the girl away from her home to have sexual activity with her while she was on police bail.

A court heard Pearce texted a friend saying the girl was "youngish but I don't care".

In September 2022, Pearce admitted grooming, abduction and sexual activity with a child at a Cardiff Crown Court hearing.

Judge Jeremy Jenkins said the relationship "quickly turned into a sexual one".'
