Overview
- On Friday May 22, 2026, York Crown Court sentenced Noah Munson to three years and nine months in prison after he pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, coercive and controlling behaviour, and two assaults.
- Prosecutors said Munson struck a woman in September 2023 by swinging a shoulder bag containing a bottle, leaving her with permanent scars, nerve damage and lasting trauma.
- While on bail for the 2023 attack, Munson repeatedly assaulted and controlled a second woman in 2025, with victim statements describing threats, constant monitoring and loss of independence.
- The judge issued a seven-year restraining order banning Munson from contacting the two women or going to their addresses and warned his conviction will expose him to heavier sentences for any future violent offences.
- Police and the prosecution relied on victim personal statements and witness accounts to show a pattern of serious violence and coercive behaviour, while the defence cited Munson’s remorse and diagnoses of ADHD and autism as mitigation.
