Judge Dafydd Hughes told him, “There is no doubt you are a man who has, on a regular basis, preyed upon young children and from this you derive some sexual pleasure.”
He was spotted by other members of the crowd who called security officers.
Rees denied sexual assault but was found guilty at an earlier hearing.
Newport Crown Court heard Rees had a previous conviction for gross indecency on an 11-year-old girl. He was jailed for three years but was released on a 10-year extended license.
Rees had been free for three-and-a half years when he re-offended at the fireworks display in Cardiff Bay last July.
Judge Dafydd Hughes told him, “There is no doubt you are a man who has, on a regular basis, preyed upon young children and from this you derive some sexual pleasure.”
Rees, who has previous offences dating back to 1983 when he was aged just 16, was jailed for 15 months. But the court heard Rees of Riverside, Cardiff, could be locked up for five years for breaking the terms of his extended licence.
