A man named Keith Gavan, aged 40, of Tanycoed, Wrexham, was jailed for 12 months after admitting to three separate attacks on his wife, including punching and kicking her, which caused injuries such as bruising and swelling.
The case was heard at Mold Crown Court, where the judge noted the repeated assaults and considered the case a difficult one, but emphasized that offences of this nature warrant custody.
Gavan showed remorse, was seeking help, and had taken steps to address his problems, but the judge stated that the offences crossed the threshold for custodial sentences.
After applying one-third reduction for guilty pleas and remorse, the sentence was set at 12 months.
Paul Smith, the prosecutor, outlined the details of the incidents.
Gavan's solicitor argued that he had been influenced by witnessing domestic violence as a child and was genuinely remorseful.
The judge based the decision on the repeated nature of the violence and the injuries inflicted on his wife.
