A
six-foot-seven electrician has received a five-year restraining
order, preventing him contacting a former landlord he was charged
with assaulting and harassing.
Victor
Hawes, 48, of St. Albans Road, Kingston-upon-Thames had always denied
the charges and yesterday at Croydon Crown Court the case was
withdrawn.
He
had been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm against the man
on May 1; assaulting him on May 2 and harassing him between May 3 and
May 18.
Not
guilty verdicts were entered on all three counts.
Afterwards
the complainant said: I
agreed to a have a full injunction, as I could not face the idea of
standing in court, and having to re live the whole scenario again.
“My
main witnesses to the attacks were to frightened, worried to give
statements or attend.”
