A 21-year-old from East Cowes has pleaded guilty to a number of assault charges, including pushing a girl to the floor after she rejected his advances.
Jake Allen, of Acorn Gardens, appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Friday charged with assault by beating of an emergency worker, assault by beating and common assault – 3 charges he pleaded guilty to.
Prosecutor Liz Miller explained to the court that on 28th December last year, Allen was in the vicinity of Newport Bus Station when he was involved in an incident that saw a 16-year-old girl pushed to the floor. Ms Miller said that Allen had tried to kiss the girl.
Furthermore, Allen is said to have thrown a swing at a male.
Police were called to the scene and arrested Jake Allen. He began kicking out at officers and spitting on the floor. He was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Ms Miller said that Allen was previously in court in 2020 and was handed a suspended sentence.
Defending, Oscar Vincent told the court that his client – who is employed in the building trade and studies bricklaying at the College – was lightly convicted with no previous for assault. Mr Vincent said that Allan had been to a music venue for the night and consumed an unusual amount of alcohol, leaving him with little o no recollection of the incident.
Magistrates were told that Allan had taken steps to avoid similar behaviour and had barely touched alcohol since.
The case has been adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be compiled. Allen will appear back before Magistrates on 19th May.
Needs to be removed from society for a few years or more
Hahaha what a little freak
Offence and charged in December, took 4mths to get to Court for no one preparing case so has to appear again in May. No wonder so many delays for Court time. Why can’t presentence reports be done in advance ?. ( Only a very few cases are not guilty even if trial) this guy pleaded guilty in advance, Magistrates should of just dealt there and then.
Where did he get the swing from.
By the way, I’ve seen this said so before you do not approve it, I’m screen shotting the comments you do allow from others to which you ought to allow mine no? Unless you want us to RIP each other apart but to this guy and any other toxic Male of the like…What a dick head’…
