A man stamped on his girlfriend's face and broke her jaw leaving the woman with permanent nerve damage, a court has heard. The alarm was raised by a member of the public who called at the block of flats where Jolyon Smith lived, and saw blood splattered on a front door.
Sending Smith to prison, a judge told him his behaviour had been "shameful and utterly despicable", and his attack had caused his victim "sickening injuries".
Swansea Crown Court heard that on the evening of August 2020 Smith's partner went to Bush Tavern in Pembroke Dock expecting to meet the defendant but he was not there. Megan Jones, prosecuting, said the woman took a taxi to Smith's flat, and once at the property an argument broke out between the pair.
