Two men have been convicted following separate incidents of antisemitic hate crime, with one receiving a suspended custodial sentence.

Jack Sweetland, 31, sent a message to a family member during an argument, referring to people being burned in the Holocaust.

He pleaded guilty at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court and was sentenced to 10 weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. This was increased from six weeks’ imprisonment, as the evidence demonstrated this was motivated by hostility around antisemitism and disability.

In a separate case, Jamie Paul Huxley, 34, pleaded guilty at Chester Magistrates’ Court to a religiously aggravated public order offence after an incident in Rhyl on 21 August 2025.

During his arrest, Huxley directed antisemitic abuse at one police officer and used a homophobic slur towards another.

Huxley was remanded in custody for sentence, which is due to take place on 22 May.

Ryan Colamazza, Senior Crown Prosecutor and Hate Crime Coordinator at CPS Cymru‑Wales, said: “Hate crime has a devastating impact, not only on individual victims but also on the wider communities it targets.

“Antisemitism and all other forms of hatred have no place in our society, and the CPS will not hesitate to prosecute these offences whenever the legal test is met.

“We work closely with the police and our criminal justice partners to ensure that offenders are brought to justice and that the courts are made aware of any hostility shown as part of an offence.”
