Conor James

In June 2026, Conor James was found guilty of grave and criminal assault and malicious damage following a four-day trial. The offences took place in March 2025 at a home in Jersey. After consuming alcohol and drugs, James became violent, severely beating the victim and destroying her mobile phone to prevent her from calling for assistance. The incident occurred while the victim's children were asleep nearby.

On 18 September 2026, Commissioner Patricia Lees sentenced James at Jersey's Royal Court to six years in prison. The court noted that the victim suffered extensive injuries and observed that James showed a lack of insight and remorse, with assessments identifying him as a high risk to women. In addition to the custodial sentence, the court imposed a restraining order against James for an indeterminate period.
