Defending, Mark Glendenning said his client disagreed with parts of the account put forward by prosecutors, but “accepts he is responsible, accepts he is guilty and takes punishment today”.Sentencing Hackett to four months imprisonment suspended for two years, chairman of the bench Rachel Gowshall said: “We’ve listened to whether there’s anything that makes this less serious.
There’s not.” He must complete 200 hours’ unpaid work, 30 rehabilitation days and pay £200 in costs and victim surcharge.
