A MOSSMAN man punched his girlfriend in the face when she refused his invitation to have sex by biting his genitals, a court heard yesterday.
Wesley Lawrence Creek, 28, yesterday pleaded guilty in Mossman Magistrates' Court to four assault charges and three breaches of domestic violence orders.
Defence solicitor David Anderson told the court that when Creek struck his de facto Mackara Shuan in the head on February 8, she had just declined his invitation to have sex.
"She declined not by speaking to him but by biting him in the genitals," Mr Anderson said.
"He was in considerable pain."
Police prosecutor Brad Hafner told the court Creek punched Ms Shuan, 20, "a number of times in the face".
Sgt Hafner also told the court that on January 9 this year, Creek punched and kicked Ms Shuan in the face and ribs.
And on February 1 he admitted kicking her in the mouth as she sat drinking.
Creek also admitted to slapping his aunt Penelope Winkle twice in the mouth in Mossman's main street on February 1.
Magistrate Thomas Braes sentenced Creek, who had already served 187 days in prison, to three months imprisonment and two years probation. Mr Braes convicted Creek of the breaches of domestic violence order but imposed no further penalty.
