Barry Alun Jones, 36, dropped false claim on morning of his trial for assault of former partner in Caernarfon last May
A violent ex tried to claim his former partner’s injuries had been caused during bondage sex sessions.
Barry Alun Jones, 36, left his ex-girlfriend with bruising and had pulled out clumps of hair from her head.
She had thought she was going to die in the attack, but was saved when a neighbour intervened.
He tried to suggest that the wounds had been sustained in the course of consensual rough sex.
But on the morning of his trial he dropped the facade, admitting to attacking her.
Mold crown court heard how she had believed she would die during the ordeal, which happened when his former partner returned home one day last May to find him sitting in her home.
The pair had already broken up, and when she asked him what he was doing he said he had lost everything and wanted to get back together.
She said no and asked him to leave, but he began to kick and punch her, as well as stamping on her as she screamed.
He dragged her around by her hair before trying to push her through the front door, when a neighbour intervened.
Jones, 36, begged with them not to call the police. When officers did track him down at an address in Caernarfon he was trying to hang himself and said he’d taken a number of pills.
Jones was treated at Ysbyty Gwynedd , admitted breaching the criminal behaviour order by going to her home but alleged it was at her request.
He falsely claimed that the extensive injuries had been caused during bondage and rough sex sessions.
Defending barrister Elen Owen said that Jones wanted to say how sorry he was for the hurt he had caused the complainant.
When Jones, of Pont y Waun, Waunfawr, Caernarfon, was well, the relationship had been good.
He suffered from a serious mental illness, he had not been taking his medication, he genuinely had no memory of the incident and he had been sectioned the following day.
Prison was not the place for him but psychiatric reports did not suggest any form of hospital order or a community mental health requirement.
It was appreciated that there was no alternative to a custodial sentence.
Miss Owen said that it was clear that his health had deteriorated in custody on remand so much so that his solicitor had been extremely concerned for him and had informed the welfare authorities.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said if it hadn’t been for the neighbour’s intervention, “one wonders what would have ended up happening”.
He jailed Jones for 14 months, plus three months when he enacted a suspended sentence Jones was already on.
