A mixed martial arts fighter managed to avoid jail time despite assaulting a woman because she did not want to be in a relationship with him.
John Redmond, 38, was handed a suspended 18-month prison sentence by the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after pleading guilty to assault causing harm.
According to Sunday World, Redmond kept telling people the victim was his girlfriend despite her telling him she didn’t want to be in a relationship. He also sent her a “string of abusive text messages” from time to time.
When the victim went to Redmond’s home to confront him, the fighter came out and threw a trash can at her.
