Ballymena man urinated into jug mixed it with coffee before throwing contents over his ex-partner's head
A court was told a man urinated into a jug, mixed it with coffee, and then had thrown it over his ex-partner's head.
William Wilson (54), with an address listed as Shancoole in Ballymena, was sentenced for an assault which happened on July 23 this year.
A prosecutor told Ballymena Magistrates Court on Thursday, December 11, that a woman received a phone call from her ex-partner asking for her to come to his house.
She called at the house and saw a jug of liquid on the ground and "believed it was oil" as it was beside a vehicle.
The woman said that she parked her car and the defendant came out of his house and "threw the contents of the jug over her". She said that it "smelt strongly of urine" and appeared to have coffee in it.
The prosecutor said that the defendant had made an allegation of "an affair". Later that day the defendant sent a message to the woman saying "Stop taking the p*ss".
The prosecutor said that the woman had previously been in a relationship with the defendant but it had ended before the time of the incident.
A defence barrister said that the defendant has physical and mental health difficulties. He said the defendant was "very sorry".
District Judge Nigel Broderick told the defendant: "What you did was nothing short of disgusting."
The judge said that for somebody to urinate into a jug and add coffee and pour it over a person was "utterly disgusting" and to treat somebody that way was "totally abhorrent". He said the woman "suffered emotional trauma" following the "disgusting assault".
The judge said that the defendant had not initially come to court "utterly remorseful" as he had fixed the case for a contest before only pleading guilty at the "eleventh hour" and then told Probation he "didn't do it".
Judge Broderick said that the defendant had "virtually no insight whatsoever into this serious offending" and handed down a three months jail term.
A two-year Restraining Order was also put in place. The defendant was given £500 bail for appeal.
