A Tregaron man has been found guilty by magistrates following a trial on charges of assaulting a woman and damaging a door.

Jason Watkins, of Gwalia, Chapel Street, appeared for trial before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 23 April.

The 37-year-old pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing on 18 February to assaulting a woman in Tregaron on 5 August last year.

He also denied a criminal damage charge of damaging a door on the same day.

Watkins was found guilty of both offences following the trial.

Magistrates adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Watkins is due to be sentenced at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 13 May.

He was remanded on conditional bail by magistrates until that sentencing date.
