The incident, which happened at the woman’s Farnborough home a year after they had split, saw Petty breach a nine-month suspended sentence for a similar offence.

Petty had the suspended sentence activated at Winchester Crown Court last month and was also handed a further six months for his latest offence of assault by beating on the female.

It meant Petty was given a total sentence of 15 months for the offences.

He was also given an indefinite restraining order during his court appearance.

Petty, who is initially from Farnborough, had initially appealed the assault conviction at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court but this was rejected at the Winchester court.

Police have now released Petty’s custody picture following the sentence.
