A former actor who was one of hundreds of prisoners released early in a bid to cut jail overcrowding has been found guilty of assaulting his former partner the day after he was freed.
Heavily tattooed Jason Hoganson, 53, was photographed raising a thumb as he was released from HMP Durham on September 10 last year, having served half of an 18-month jail sentence for assaulting his ex-partner Rachel Usher and breaching a restraining order.
