WHEN a man from her group urinated against a wall, Jane Darby, 38, was so upset that she pushed him in the back from behind.

Kieron Smith, who had been drinking, crashed to the ground and hit his head sustaining a fractured skull, a bleed on the brain and a broken nose.

Yesterday (May 26), Darby admitted wounding and was given a 14-month suspended prison sentence with 40 days’ rehabilitation, a six-month alcohol treatment requirement and a three-month curfew.

She has to pay Mr Smith £250 in compensation.

Judge Timothy Petts told her at Caernarfon Crown Court: “You are very lucky the consequences for Mr. Smith were not more serious.”

Her explanation had been that he had been exposing himself in a public place in front of a teenage girl.

What he was doing “was clearly anti-social but there is no suggestion there was any sexual motive in his behaviour”, declared the judge.

Paulinus Barnes, prosecuting, said in April last year, two groups had met in Llandudno, had some drinks, then caught a bus to Rhyl.

Mr Smith had collapsed after being pushed over and was taken to hospital later being transferred to a trauma unit in Stoke-on-Trent.

The defendant fled but was identified through Facebook.

Simon Rogers, defending Darby, of Stanmore Road, Rhyl, said there had been no intention to cause injury.

It was “an extremely short-lived moment” when Mr Smith was exposing himself in the presence of a young girl.

Alcohol had been a factor.
