Swindon, UK – A man from Swindon has been sentenced to two years and ten months in prison after a violent assault that left a woman deeply traumatized. Kyle Milsom, 44 years old, caused severe cuts that required hospital treatment when he attacked the victim on December 10th of last year.
During the court proceedings at Swindon Crown Court on April 18th, Milsom, who resides on Linden Avenue in Pinehurst, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, as well as admitting to a battery offense. In a statement read in court, the victim expressed the emotional toll of the attack, describing how her children were afraid to even look at her or give her affection upon her return from the hospital.
In addition to the prison sentence, Milsom was also issued a seven-year restraining order, prohibiting him from contacting the victim. PC Sam Bridgeman praised the victim for her courage in reporting the assault, emphasizing the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions to ensure justice is served.
The impact of Milsom’s behavior on the victim was acknowledged, with PC Bridgeman highlighting the lasting effects of such traumatic experiences. The hope is that the sentencing provides reassurance to both the victim and the community that law enforcement will take all necessary steps to address and prevent domestic violence incidents.
