Jonathan Hawtrey A MAN assaulted his terrified partner as she was holding their three-year-old child.
Blackburn magistrates heard on a second occasion Jonathan James Hawtrey attacked the same victim in front of both of her children, forcing her to run from her own home and seek sanctuary in a nearby community centre. Sending him to prison for six months Deputy District Judge Geraldine Kelly said the suggestion from the probation service that a community order should be imposed was wholly unrealistic. What a terrifying experience it must have been for the three-year-old child when you started smashing things in the living room before assaulting her mother, said Deputy District Judge Kelly.
