Defense Claims Guard Made Advances | Adelaide News

An 18-year-old, Jatin Pudaruth, admitted to assaulting an 87-year-old crossing guard, Colin, who suffered a brain bleed and severe bruising. Sentencing was delayed after defense lawyers revealed Colin allegedly made months of unwanted advances on Pudaruth’s girlfriend — including gifts, inappropriate hugs, and suggestive texts — prompting Pudaruth to ask him to stop. Colin allegedly responded with xenophobic remarks. Though the girlfriend hasn’t filed a report, a formal complaint was made to the traffic warden’s unit. Colin declined to comment. Pudaruth’s sentencing is now set for August 12th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
