Wigan man who assaulted a woman twice finds out his punishment

Ryan Ball, 31, of Maple Avenue, Lowton, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by beating – once between July 1 and September 30 and again on October 23.

Wigan justices imposed an 18-month community order, with alcohol treatment for nine months, the Building Better Choices programme for 26 days and 120 hours of unpaid work.

An 18-month restraining order forbids him to contact the woman and he must pay £85 prosecution costs and a £114 surcharge.
