A BOYFRIEND who attacked his partner was warned he could be facing a prison sentence.
Selvin Wynter, aged 59, of Gaer Road, Newport, pleaded guilty to assault by beating and being in breach of a suspended jail sentence.
The offences were committed in the city on April 7.
Wynter was represented by Meirion Davies who asked for sentence to be adjourned for the preparation of a report by the Probation Service.
The prosecutor in the hearing at Newport Crown Court was Bethan Evans.
Judge Daniel Williams adjourned sentence to June 12.
He warned the defendant: “All sentencing options, including custody, are open.”
Wynter was granted conditional bail.
