By BBN Staff: A Belize City businessman was fined in court this week after pleading guilty to common assault against his girlfriend.

Thirty-eight-year-old Thomas Young, appeared in court unrepresented, and wasted no time in pleading guilty, but stressed that he regretted that the incident had even occurred.

The complainant reported to police that she threw out his clothes after finding out that he was lying to her, and in retaliation, he hit her to the left and right side of the face.

The complainant did not show up in court to hear Young’s confession of regret or to see him fined $500 plus $5 cost of court which he must pay by the end of February 2022 or spend 5 months in prison for default.
