A SEX offender refused to let police officers check his Snapchat account.
Jake Roberts, 22, of no fixed abode, had been made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order in November 2021.
The defendant is due to stand trial on April 3 after being charged with making an indecent image of a child and two breaches of his sexual harm prevention order.

Roberts was accused of having a Category A image – the most serious type – on August 30 in Cilgerran.
The first breach charge related to allegations that Roberts deleted the Telegram app and search history from his phone in Cilgerran between September 12 and October 27.
The second breach related to accusations that he failed to allow police officers to access a Snapchat account on November 14 in Cilgerran.
The defendant reappeared at court on March 20 and also pleaded guilty to the second breach of the sexual harm prevention order.
The prosecution asked for a seven-day adjournment to consider whether these pleas were acceptable, and whether the case will go to trial.
Judge Geraint Walters approved the adjournment, and Roberts will return to court on March 27.
