At Hamilton Sheriff Court today, Monday, 30 October, 2023, 58-year-old Michael Hoban has been jailed for 40 months for serious assault.

Hoban pleaded guilty at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Thursday, 14 September, to the attack on the 47-year-old woman that took place at a house in Cairn Grove, Carfin on Monday, 28 November, 2022.

He was also given a 20-year non-harassment order against the victim.

Detective Inspector Lorraine Wilson said: “Hoban’s victim sustained serious injuries during this attack and our thoughts remain with her at this time. I hope that his sentencing gives her some comfort and allows her to move forward knowing that he now faces the consequences of his actions.

“Violent crime has no place in society and we remain committed to bringing those responsible of such crimes to justice.”
