Man Sentenced for Assault Under Clothing | UK News

A 45-year-old man, Martin Connelly, received a three-year and four-month prison sentence after being convicted of assault by touching — an attack that occurred under clothing. The verdict, delivered at Bristol Crown Court, came after a June trial, and he’ll also face a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order to safeguard others. The victim, who bravely testified in court, shared how the trauma has seeped into her daily life — triggering painful memories through music, movies, and even people — while also celebrating her resilience. Police commend her courage, urging other survivors to speak up, knowing they’ll be heard and supported. This case underscores the enduring impact of such assaults and the vital role of justice and protection in healing and prevention.
