Man avoids jails following assaults on woman
A MAN has avoided jail following assaults on a woman in Clacton.
Peter Killick, 65, of Old Road, Clacton, denied two charges of assault by beating and a charge of harassment without violence, but was found guilty at Colchester Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard he assaulted a woman in Clacton in May 17 and on June 27 last year.
He also pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment by contacting her multiple times.
Magistrates handed Killick a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, due to the “real prospect of rehabilitation”.
He must also take part in a rehabilitation programme.
