Wesley Straight, 41, assaulted a woman in December last year in Clacton. He appeared at Colchester Magistrates Court on April 23 for sentence after admitted one charge of assault in March. The court heard the offence was made more serious by the victim s vulnerability, the case being one of domestic abuse in her own home, and by the act of spitting in a person s face during the Covid-19 crisis. Straight, of Marine Parade West, Clacton, was sentenced to 18 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. He must complete a 40-day rehabilitation activity requirement and pay £105 in prosecution costs. A WOMAN who failed way to give way at a junction causing a serious crash has been fined and hit with penalty points.
