TEEN THUG GUILTY OF VILE ATTACK ON PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND
A ‘vile’ thug kicked his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach THREE times when she confronted him for cheating on her.
Branden Sedgwick-Boyle, 18, attacked the victim, kicking her in the stomach as well as punching her in the mouth, pulling her hair and grabbing her by the throat.
The victim - who was 18 at the time of the attack - was left with blood coming from her mouth and taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
It was also revealed that she was in the early stages of pregnancy and later suffered a miscarriage, although the court found no direct causation between the attack and the loss of the baby.
Sedgwick-Boyle pleaded not guilty but was found guilty after a trial.
He was sentenced to jail for 23 weeks, ordered to pay a £115 surcharge, and a Restraining Order was imposed preventing him from contacting the complainant “by any means whatsoever.” The court heard that he had previous convictions for battery, possession of a bladed article, and robbery, and had been recalled to prison.
His existing sentence was due to expire on May 26, 2018.
