A MAN has been jailed for four years for a sustained attack on his former partner.
Jack Lister, 29, was labelled a dangerous offender by Recorder Ian Mullarkey who sentenced him at Bradford Crown Court.
Lister, who was living in the Keighley area, pleaded guilty to causing the woman grievous bodily harm on February 9 this year.
He was sentenced on a video link to Leeds Prison for what prosecutor Nick Adlington said was a “sustained assault”.
Lister’s barrister, Clare Walsh, said he was genuinely remorseful. His misuse of alcohol contributed to his offending behaviour.
Recorder Mullarkey said Lister’s probation officer found that he had “a sustained and entrenched propensity to commit violent acts”.
He sentenced him to an extended five-year prison term, with four years’ custody and a year on extended licence.
A 15-year restraining order prevents Lister from contacting his victim.
