38 year old Salvador Carballo is spending the first night of his 18 month prison sentence after he was taken to court today for indecent assault and threatening words.
The 20 year old female victim told police that just after midnight on Thursday, she was walking on Morning glory Street when she was approached by Carballo, who she knows as "Salva".
Carballo then grabbed her around her neck from behind and started choking her. According to the woman, Carballo attempted to take off her clothes, and when she tried to scream, Carballo tightened his grip to stop her. He suddenly let go, and left her on the street.
The next day, as the woman was walking on Fairweather Street, Carballo again approached her and told her not to tell the police or anyone else, or he would kill her.
The woman decided to report the matter and after investigating the complaint, police arrested Carballo yesterday and charged him with aggravated assault of an indecent nature, and threatening words.
He was arraigned before the Chief Magistrate this afternoon, where he pleaded guilty to both offences.
Chief Magistrate Smith then sentenced him to eighteen months for the indecent assault, and 6 months for the threatening words. Both sentences are to run concurrently, so he will only spend 18 months in jail.
