Mr Lewis, 54, paid the money to Mr Saunders, 34, in the spring of 2023, but believed he had been “scammed” because he saw his estranged wife on Aberavon Beach weeks after, the court heard.

Prosecutor Ms Nicola Powell said that the two men, who both live in the same block of flats in the Maritime Quarter in Swansea, had exchanged a number of text messages between February and April 2023.

The alleged arrangement was discovered when Mr Lewis’ son Keiran went round to his father’s flat.

The visit was prompted by concerns for Mr Lewis’ welfare. It was then his son read a series of text messages between the two men.

His father, who had mental health issues and had previously been treated in hospital, was intoxicated, broke down and cried.
