Farrell, of Bradshaw Road, Chichester, denied two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on one of the women, and a charge of common assault on the second female. All the offences took place in July 2021.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the offences but was found guilty following a trial at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court. His case was then sent to the crown court where he was locked up – having surrendered any potential credit to reduce his sentence after denying the charges before he was found guilty.

Farrell was also handed a 10-year restraining order not to contact the complainants involved. He will serve half the sentence behind bars before he is released on licence back into the community.
