2025 – Tenby Man Given Suspended Sentence After Admitting Assault and Criminal Damage

A 24-year-old Tenby man has avoided immediate custody after admitting to assaulting a woman and damaging her clothing during an incident in the town late last year.

Alexander Osborn, of Heywood Court, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, as well as to criminal damage.

The court was told that the offences occurred on November 16 at a property on South Parade. During the incident, Osborn assaulted a woman and ripped her t-shirt.

Following his guilty pleas, Osborn received a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

As part of the suspended sentence, he is required to complete a 12-month mental health treatment programme, comply with a 120-day alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement, and undertake 40 days of rehabilitation activity. He must also pay £85 in court costs.

Magistrates highlighted that the combination of treatment and rehabilitation measures is intended to address the factors underlying Osborn’s behaviour while ensuring he remains accountable for his actions.

Clare’s Law – How It Can Help Protect Individuals

Clare’s Law, formally known as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS), allows individuals to ask the police whether a current or former partner has a history of abusive behaviour. This is known as the “Right to Ask.” Police can also proactively disclose relevant information to someone if they believe that person may be at risk—referred to as the “Right to Know.”

The scheme is designed to help people make informed decisions about their safety and to provide support or intervention where needed. Anyone concerned about their own relationship or that of someone they know can contact their local police force to make a Clare’s Law request.
