Two days later officers were called to the home, but the offender had left the home before they arrived. Kemble's mother was then made aware of suspicious activity on a bank card, and discerned it was missing. Several transactions made - totalling to £76.83 - on the card in the area of Pyle and Kenfig Hill in Bridgend. After she looking at her doorbell camera footage, she witnessed Kemble coming into her home using a key his parents had previously requested he give back. Kemble pleaded guilty to breach of a non-molestation order, fraud by false representation, burglary and sexual assault. The 20-year-old also had eight previous convictions, which included robbery, criminal damage, and shoplifting, the court was told. He was sentenced to three years in a young offenders institute for these previous crimes. The additional year he has been given for his most recent offences will be served consecutively.
