A man who battered his girlfriend in a vile attack at her flat walked free today.
Ben Shepherd attacked the mum of his child in a home on Warrington’s Grasmere Avenue earlier this year. Yet the 26-year-old was handed a suspended sentence today in a rare move after the woman said he was an “amazing” dad to his kids and a judge said he had showed true remorse for the attack.
Derek Jones, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court a neighbour saw the woman with a bleeding nose and in tears after she was beaten by Shepherd inside her flat on April 9, 2022.
