Roland Povall, 48, has a history of domestic violence and has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
A wedding guest who drunkenly attacked his girlfriend, a bridesmaid and a teenage boy has been deemed a "dangerous offender"., punched his girlfriend and a bridesmaid, and smashed a teenage boy over the head with a mug before using the broken handle to slash the boy's face.Prosecuting Gerald Baxter said: "At 11pm, the teenager was in the room with his brother.
"He was worried the defendant was going to attack her and grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back."The teenager refused to leave and the confrontation moved into a hotel corridor. The court heard Povall has "little memory" of what happened, but was "deeply ashamed of his actions".What is Clare's Law?He was also later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after the sudden death of his baby son."He understands the impact of what he has done has had on his victims. He has seen the CCTV footage and is ashamed."
The judge said he did not accept the PTSD had any impact on this incident and said he was concerned by Povall's history of domestic violence - in 2016, Povall was given a 35 month sentence for attacking a different girlfriend and giving her a black eye and punctured lung.
