A machete-carrying thug, high on drink and drugs, beat his ex and forced her stay at a party for almost two days without medical attention.
Scott Billings was jailed at Leeds Crown Court for the attack on the woman at the flat in Kinsley, near Pontefract, then made her sit on her own while he spent 46 hours enjoying himself. The 29-year-old denied any wrongdoing and was due to stand trial, but changed his pleas to guilty on the day it was due to begin. He admitted ABH and threatening with an offensive weapon in a private place. Having been held on remand at HMP Leeds, he sobbed as he was handed a 22-month jail sentence.
They had an argument over payments involving an Xbox games console and he then accused her of having an affair. He brandished the machete, threw punches at her, kicked her and stamped on her chest. She was made to stay without treatment as the party continued. The next day when Billings temporarily left the flat, she made her escape and rang her father. She had bruising to her right eye, restricted air entry to her lung and a cut behind her ear.
