Jack Shepherd Pleads Guilty to Assault | Leeds News

Jack Shepherd, the man jailed for manslaughter after killing Charlotte Brown in a speedboat crash, has pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend — including punching her and using barbecue tongs that left a permanent scar — leading to his recall from prison. Originally sentenced to ten years in 2018 after fleeing his trial, he was released on license in January but returned to custody after new charges emerged in September. The court dropped charges of controlling behavior and suffocation, but upheld assault and property damage. Shepherd entered pleas via video from prison, and sentencing is set for September, with his earliest release from the manslaughter sentence scheduled for January 2029.
