Man sentenced for 'deliberate and nasty' assault

Andrew Scott Page was found guilty of grave and criminal assault by the Royal Court on Thursday

A man has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison for a "deliberate and nasty assault" on a woman.

Andrew Scott Page, 45, was also given a seven-year domestic abuse protection order after being found guilty of a grave and criminal assault at Jersey Royal Court on 18 April.

In addition, Page was given a further two months to serve consecutively in prison for an unrelated theft from a jewellery shop in May 2023, States of Jersey Police said.

It said the assault had taken place at a residential address in Jersey in December 2022.

Det Con Verity Thomas, from the Public Protection Unit, said: "This was a deliberate and nasty assault carried out by Page.

"Behaviour like this should never be tolerated.

"We will do everything in our power to see offenders such as this face justice."

She advised anyone who had experienced abuse to speak to the police.
