MAN JAILED AFTER REPEATEDLY ASSAULTING PARTNER
A resident of Glynneath, Gavin Powell aged 39, was sentenced to prison after a pattern of physical abuse against his former partner.Initially claiming innocence, Powell faced charges of assault by beating after an incident on New Year’s Day 2025.
He also contested a charge of causing actual bodily harm linked to an event on January 17.
However, in September, he changed his plea to guilty on both counts.
The sentencing resulted in a term of two years and six months in prison.
He is also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £228 once released and has been subject to a five-year restraining order preventing any contact with the victim.
