He was due to be sentenced by the bench in the first week of the new year.

But the hearing has now been postponed until January 26.

In the meanwhile he is awaiting trial at the same court on January 23 on other matters: assault by beating, intentional strangulation and stalking of another woman.

He had been on bail for the non-molestation order breaches but, after appearing again before justices, he has been remanded in custody over the matters addressed by the trial.
