Then, at 12:55 a.m. the following morning, the newlyweds decided to retire to bed and Dawson asked Golightly to help take off her wedding dress.
Instead, he attacked her and she thought she was going to die.
“The defendant (Golightly) then tried to undo Ms. Dawson’s dress. She received a crochet (to undo the dress with), but the defendant then refused to undo his new wife’s dress,” prosecutor Sarah Traynor told Peterlee Magistrates Court, the Sunderland Echo reported.
“The defendant then jumped up from his chair, approached Ms. Dawson and pushed her over.
[. . .]
“He then sat on top of her and started punching her with clenched fists. He then got up and left the room. It appears that the defendant then came back to the room."
[. . .]
Golightly claimed his drinks must have been spiked before the assault as he could not remember the incident. However, the tattoo artist pleaded guilty to a single count of assault causing actual bodily harm.
He was given a two-year community order, and a restraining order stopping him from contacting Dawson directly or indirectly was imposed. He was also ordered to pay Dawson compensation.
Dawson, an accountancy student, has filed for divorce.
