Aberdulais man jailed after attacking two women

 

A man from Neath Port Talbot has been jailed after carrying out violent attacks against two female victims.

29-year-old Scott Miller, from Aberdulais, assaulted the two victims on multiple separate occasions. He pulled the first victim to the ground by their hair before repeatedly punching her to the face, causing her to strike her head on a door frame. He left this victim with a number of injuries.

While on bail for the above offences, Miller assaulted his second victim on more than one occasion, including putting his hands around this victim’s throat, causing her to suffer a panic attack. He also made threats to kill this victim.

Miller pleaded guilty to intentional suffocation and three counts of assault by beating and has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Sergeant Rachel Draisey said:

“As a force, we do not tolerate even a single incident of violence against women and girls. Scott Miller was responsible for multiple examples of this unacceptable conduct.

“Everyone has the right to feel safe, wherever they are, and nobody should be subjected to violence, harassment, and intimidation.

“Scott Miller’s victims should not have had to go through their traumatic experiences at his hands.

“Those who are suffering abuse can be assured that we will do everything we can to support and protect them from harm.”
