JAMIE ROGERS FROM SWANSEA SENTENCED FOR BRUTAL ASSAULT IN NEW QUAY

A man named Jamie Rogers, who inflicted severe violence upon his former partner, has been formally sentenced by a court to serve time in prison. The incident took place in April 2023 at a holiday park in New Quay, located in west Wales, where Rogers and his partner were staying. The court heard that the assault was triggered during a day when the couple visited the clubhouse at Quay West holiday park, a popular destination for holidaymakers in the area.

According to the prosecution, the day initially appeared to be uneventful. Both Rogers and his partner had been drinking alcohol at the clubhouse, and their interactions were described as 'pleasant and without difficulties.' However, the mood shifted when Rogers began offering children money to play on arcade machines, a gesture that angered some parents present at the venue. This behavior led to Rogers being asked to leave the clubhouse.

Once outside, the situation escalated dramatically. Rogers verbally abused his partner, and in a fit of rage, he threw her to the ground. The assault left her with visible bruises and swelling on her face and body, indicating the violence she endured. After they were escorted back to their caravan, Rogers' behavior grew even more aggressive. He accused his partner of 'taking his child from him,' and in a violent outburst, he grabbed her by the arms, pushed her, and repeatedly punched her in the mouth, jaw, and around her left eye. The assault was so severe that she lost consciousness during the attack.

Following the incident, Rogers sent messages expressing remorse and claimed that his actions were influenced by alcohol consumption. The court was also informed that Rogers had a criminal history, with six previous convictions for nine different offenses, including domestic abuse. Judge Huw Rees, presiding over the case at Swansea Crown Court, remarked on Rogers' history and behavior, stating, 'I readily come to the conclusion that you do not know how to treat a woman, certainly when you are in drink.'

As a result of his actions, Rogers was sentenced to a total of 30 months in prison. This sentence comprised 24 months for the assault in New Quay and an additional six months, which was activated from a previously suspended sentence. Furthermore, Rogers was ordered to adhere to a seven-year restraining order, which prohibits him from contacting or approaching his victim.

After the sentencing, the victim spoke out, describing the trauma she experienced. She said, 'I genuinely believe that I was going to die that day. The impact of that is unexplainable... People need to realize how bad it was and to stay away from him completely.' Her words underscore the severity of the incident and the lasting effects of domestic violence.
