Overview
- Cardiff Crown Court imposed a three-year-three-month prison term after Watson pleaded guilty to two counts of ABH and assaulting an emergency worker.
- He assaulted his partner during a holiday in Turkey, then attacked her again in Wales, leaving injuries that required hospital treatment.
- The victim fled her home wearing only her underwear to seek help after the second attack.
- During his arrest he was abusive, threw an officer to the floor, was subdued with PAVA spray, and kicked an officer in the face, causing a nose injury.
- Judge Paul Thomas KC condemned his conduct; the court heard he had a prior dangerous driving conviction and was on licence, while the defence cited a deprived upbringing.
