Christian Barclay, a 33-year-old with 117 prior convictions, was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to two assaults on the same woman and causing £400 in property damage.
The assaults occurred on July 14 when he struck the woman across the face ‘full force’ and later kicked her at an assisted living facility, then smashed a glass door worth £400.
District Judge Ted Magill said the conduct was ‘appalling behaviour’ given the defendant’s extensive record and imposed a six‑month custodial term, ordered £400 compensation, and issued a two‑year restraining order prohibiting any contact with the victim.
