A church pastor and former TV presenter who sexually touched sleeping boys and men or filmed them with a secret camera in a washbag will be sentenced today.

Benjamin David Thomas, who last week admitted 40 sex offences, left a string of victims "shocked, angry, violated and disgusted" after a near 30-year campaign of abuse.

The 44-year-old, a former Criccieth Family Church pastor, admitted a widespread pattern of offending.
