A man assaulted a teenage girl and a woman in Hartlepool, leaving both victims shaken and anxious after the incidents
Gill was drunk when he approached the girl, complimenting her and making her feel uncomfortable. She tried to walk away, but he wouldn’t let up. Just minutes later, he targeted another woman, forcing himself on her while she struggled to get away. Can you believe that?
The prosecutor shared that he even tried to steal her purse and phone after the assault. The woman ended up with a hamstring injury and has been feeling anxious ever since. It’s heartbreaking to hear how these incidents have affected her life.
In court, it was revealed that Gill had a history of trouble, with multiple convictions. He didn’t just stop at the assaults; he also caused damage to property that day. The judge called his actions disgraceful and handed him a community order, which means he’ll have to complete rehabilitation programs.
His lawyer mentioned that Gill feels remorse now that he’s sober, but it’s hard to see how that makes up for what he did. It’s a tough situation, and it’s just sad to think about how these victims are coping with the aftermath.
