Time for another addition of Scum to this thread. We have the wonderful excuse of 'mental health issues' to explain his behaviour. No doubt he has no job and is the usual waste of oxygen funded by the rest of us who have to work for a living.
A WOMAN’S head was said to have been “bouncing on the pavement” after a violent attack in a street.
Defendant Richard Iveson initially punched his then partner square in the face in Llandudno.
She fell to the ground apparently out cold, Mold Crown Court was told yesterday. Witnesses saw him walk away but then return and kick her to the side, said prosecutor David Mainstone.
But one on-looker was shocked to see him pick her up off the ground by her arms and then, while she was in the sitting position, he kicked her full in the face. Her head hit the pavement and was then seen to be bouncing.
Iveson, 29, of Prospect Terrace, Llandudno, admitted a wounding charge and was jailed for 15 months.
Judge Niclas Parry made a restraining order under which he is not to approach his former partner.
“Be in no doubt about it, this was a shocking and sickening attack on a vulnerable female in a busy public place.
“A number of passers-by were sickened and concerned.
“You punched her with such force that she fell seemingly unconscious. One witness heard the sound of the punch from some distance.
“You then lifted her to a sitting position before kicking her full in the face, and kicking her a second time.”
But he had pleaded guilty, the injuries were mercifully not so serious, there had been an element of provocation and the judge said that he had regard to the defendant’s mental health issues.
Jayne La-Grua, defending, said that the prosecution papers showed that the defendant had been in a betting shop when the complainant entered and struck him. There had clearly been an element of provocation.
The defendant had not been in trouble until he was 25 or 26 and it was clear that there had been mental health difficulties. He had a very supportive mother, a retired social worker, who had been funding private help for him.
Iveson, she said, was a man in emotional and psychological distress. It was accepted that the relationship was a destructive one, that they were not good for each other. That day both had been drinking.
