Former police officer Lewis Edwards, who admitted more than 100 sexual offences against children, has been handed a life sentence.

He will serve a minimum of 12 years behind bars after being handed the sentence at Cardiff Crown Court.

Edwards, 24, carried out all but one of his offences while working as an officer for South Wales Police but was immediately suspended from duty upon his arrest and later resigned.

He was granted a reduction of one-third to his sentence due to his entering a guilty plea.
