Mr Edwards was cleared at Merthyr Crown Court.

Both faced the same charge relating to the concealment of three mobile phones between February and August 2023.

Edward’s mother pleaded guilty to the charge but Mr Edwards denied it, to which the prosecution said it would offer no evidence against him, so he was found not guilty.

Defence barrister Giles Hayes said Edwards was “previously of good character” and a “primary carer for her mother,” and requested time for pre-sentence reports to be made ahead of sentencing.

Her son appeared in va video link from Parkhurst Prison where he pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice by concealing mobile phones and three further charges of possession of indecent images.

A sentencing date for both has been set for 22 November.
