on the day of trial he changed his plea to guitly on abh instead of gbh and last week he was sentenced ..to a 12 month sentence suspended for 2 years and 150 hours community service :( no fine no cost no compensation
i had photographic evidenceand medical witnesses and hospital reports
i have since learnt that he actually assaulted his new girlfriend in january and was put on community order then

i believe the CPS can appeal the sentence,if they believe it is to lenient,you will have to speak to your solicitor about it.
Sorry to hear about this, sugaranspice. It seems all too common these days, yet judges sometimes have their hands tied, because of other ridiculous and out-dated laws. I'm sure that some of them feel as sick as pigs when they have to dish out lenient sentences. I hope you manage to move on from this awful experience.
Unfair though this is on you Sugarnspice2, you will get ur revenge in the future. He's on the streets smirking to himself but u know who he is and when ur stronger.....push him under a bus!

Tell me when....I'll come and help!
It's no wonder so many women don't report thugs like this. They're treat so badly in court and indeed, in my experience, by the police.
No idea what your chances are sugarnspice but go for it I am currently involved in a similar situation and I will be devestated if he gets off with a slap on the wrist
