Thug strangled pregnant girlfriend in front of her two children
A man has been jailed after he launched a brutal attack on his pregnant girlfriend. Wesley Jones grabbed the woman's throat during the ordeal which was witnessed by her two children. The victim, who was two months pregnant at the time of the attack, was left feeling dazed after Jones, 32, grabbed her neck. He also threw her to the floor and damaged her £1,000 television and coffee table in the ordeal. READ MORE: Woman who stabbed dad-of-six in heart on Christmas Day over Tinder profile faces life behind bars Jone has been jailed for 26 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court and handed a five-year restraining order after he was found guilty of strangulation, assault by beating and criminal damage. The court heard the victim called the police at 9.30am on June 28, 2023, when Jones refused to leave her home. The police removed him but he returned to the address at 5.50pm. She had his bags ready for him to collect, but Jones started to cry and she allowed him inside, StokeonTrentLive reports. Prosecutor Emma Swindell said: "He grabbed her throat with his right hand and strangled her. It restricted her breathing and made her feel dazed. "He went to her bedroom and tipped the wardrobe over and kicked things around her room. Downstairs, he grabbed hold of her and threw her to the floor. "She hit her head. He broke the coffee table worth £67 and threw a television worth £1,000 at the wall and punched it destroying it." In a victim statement the woman said the relationship has ended. She was left crying continuously and very upset. The incident was witnessed by the woman's two children. Jones, of Longshaw Street, Longport, denied strangulation, assault by beating and criminal damage but was convicted after a trial at North Staffordshire Justice Centre. Robert Holt, mitigating, conceded Jones has a history of violence. He once worked as a chef at Stoke City Football Club. Last December he fell from a ladder which left him with a spinal injury. He has suffered from mental health issues but has a dog which is helping him get out of the house and meet people, Mr Holt said. He added: "He does not accept he is guilty of the offences. He denies he committed these offences. But he respects the opinion of the court." Mrs Justice Tipples said: "You have a number of previous convictions for violence. The mitigation is your mental health, there has been no recent offending, this relates to 2023."
