Ewing was sentenced at Newport Crown Court to seven years and eight months after admitting a wide range of offences.

Ewing travelled with wedding rings, and was also carrying a knife and a wooden cosh.

The judge said the girl and her family have been "devastated" by Ewing's actions.

The court heard Ewing may be deported during his sentence but that this was a matter for the Home Office.

After the hearing, Det Supt Philip O'Connell of Gwent Police said Ewing had been "grooming and exploiting" his victim for more than a year "before travelling thousands of miles to meet her".
