Newcastle Emlyn: Teacher who assaulted pupil on night out sentenced

James had been playing for Newcastle Emlyn RFC on 9 March and spotted Llyr out with friends later that night.

CCTV footage showed him running across the road and grabbing Llyr, before pushing him into a nearby alleyway.

Magistrates said the incident was an “unprovoked assault” and Llyr Davies had been “unlawfully assaulted”.

James said he wanted to explain his frustration that Llyr was going to miss an “unforgettable opportunity” to play rugby at the Principality Stadium due to his poor attendance at school and training.

James told the court they had a “light hearted” relationship and would “joke with each other”.

Prosecutor James Ashton said James’ memory of the incident could have been “unclear” due to alcohol intake.

James admitted to drinking 8 or 9 pints of cider on the day of the incident.

He first heard of an assault allegation against him the following Wednesday – the day after Llyr died in an incident at a quarry – and he was suspended from his job on the Friday.

During the sentencing hearing, James’ solicitor, Mair Williams, said her client had “suffered a mental punishment” while being interviewed by police.
