Ashley Knapper
Case Information & Details
Public criminal case information for individuals named Ashley Knapper in the UK reveals details of at least two distinct legal proceedings.
1. 2008 Affray Conviction (Nantyglo)
In May 2008, an 18-year-old Ashley Knapper, residing at Attlee Road, Nantyglo, admitted to charges of affray at Cardiff Crown Court. This case stemmed from an incident on September 20 of the previous year, where Ashley Knapper was seen throwing a brick that dented a car. The situation escalated into a public disturbance involving several individuals, including Paul Knapper (41) and Helen Knapper (38), who were also charged in connection with the affray and possession of offensive weapons. Ashley Knapper was made subject to a two-year community order, which included 18 months of supervision and 200 hours of unpaid work. The court noted that the incident was an "outbreak of violence on an estate in Nantyglo" that arose from a "simmering feud."
2. 2026 Court Proceedings (Cardiff Crown Court)
An individual named Ashley Knapper, alongside Paul Knapper, had scheduled court appearances at Cardiff Crown Court on May 19 and May 20, 2026. These proceedings were listed under reference 61CY0404825, with Mr. Recorder A Hammond presiding in Court 2. The court type was Magistrates, and the hearings were noted as initial appearances where charges would typically be formally read and pleas entered. At the time of these listings, specific case details were not publicly available.
3. July 2026 Sentencing for Violent Assault (Nantyglo)
On July 2, 2026, the South Wales Argus reported that an Ashley Knapper was among "Two Nantyglo men sentenced following violent assault." This article, which includes an image of Ashley Knapper from Gwent Police, indicates a concluded legal proceeding resulting in a sentencing. While the full details of the charges and the specific court decision are behind a paywall, the location (Nantyglo) and the recent sentencing date suggest a strong likelihood that this relates to the same Ashley Knapper who had the May 2026 court appearances.
