A woman who sexually assaulted a teenage boy while drunk and threatened a man with a knife on a separate occasion has been given a suspended sentence.

Delyth Davies, 36, from Maes Meurig, Gwalchmai, on Anglesey, had a 21 month sentence suspended for two years at Caernarfon Crown Court.

Judge Nicola Saffman decided to give her a chance to "stop the cycle of drunken offending".

Davies had pleaded guilty at earlier hearings to a charge of sexual assault and one of possessing a knife and threatening behaviour, with the offending happening in October 2022.

The court heard that Davies kissed a 15-year-old boy in a sexualised way and asked him if he wanted to have sex on 7 March 2022 in Llangefni.

The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, suffered from anxiety because of the attack and the incident had affected his GCSE school work, the judge was told.

In a separate incident in October 2022, Davies had become involved in a large group confrontation, after drinking heavily, and threatened one of the group with a knife.

Defence barrister Elen Owen said her client was ashamed of her actions and that the two incidents, as well as a string of previous convictions "all speak of problems with alcohol".

The judge warned Davies that failure to comply with the conditions of her suspended sentence could lead to her being brought back to court and the prison sentencing being applied.

For the charge of sexual assault, Davies was given a nine month sentence, and for threatening a man with a knife, 12 months.

The sentences run consecutively, but were suspended for 24 months.

She must complete a rehabilitation order, will be tagged and is placed under a curfew for six months.
