A Scottish party host has been ordered to pay £1,500 compensation to a
woman he hurled down a flight of stairs after a heated row about a
guest’s manhood.
Julie Jamieson was left severely injured after being thrown out of the
party when an argument about the size of one of the reveler's package got out of hand.
Jonathan Wales, 28, grabbed Miss Jamieson and struggled with her until
she toppled down a full flight of stairs and broke her wrist on landing.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that it was bawdy banter between rival groups of women which sparked the confrontation and led to a physical brawl.
Wales was ordered to pay his victim and told to carry out 240 hours
unpaid work as part of a community payback order on Tuesday.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told Wales: “I really question whether there was
any need for you to get involved, or certainly not to the extent which
you did.
But I do accept the injury sustained by the complainer was probably not
anticipated and was a consequence of a struggle which took place
outside.”
Depute fiscal Gavin Letford told the court Wales ended up grabbing hold
of Miss Jamieson and shoving her out of the flat and on to the landing
in the close. “As she fell down the stairs she fell on to her wrist and
felt it buckle under her body,” he said
The court heard Miss Jamieson was taken to hospital and required surgery
on her broken wrist.
Wales admitted assaulting and severely injuring Julie Jamieson during
the fight at the party in Dundee.
