Obsessed man 'breastfed' from woman, 60, to get back at his mother

Obsessed Michael Jones has been jailed after breaching a restraining order to see a 60-year-old woman he had ‘breastfed on’ as way of getting back at his mother. The 32-year-old was “obsessed” with his victim whom he had assaulted in the past and was prohibited from contacting. However over the summer he visited the woman three times and ‘breastfed on her’ during one of their encounters. He was jailed for 15 months at Caernarfon Crown Court, Wales today (Wednesday October 1) after he pleaded guilty to wounding the woman causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

In the past, Jones had assaulted her and was prohibited from contacting her, the court heard. In June he was duly given a 16-month jail term, suspended for 18 months for that offence. However, today the court heard Jones, of Glan Cadnant, Caernarfon, met the same woman three times in July. Prosecutor Amy Edwards said the woman saw Jones on a cycle path in Caernarfon. He looked tired so she left him a bottle of water. The pair then messaged each other on Facebook afterwards and met in a park in Caernarfon at night in July, reports North Wales Live. The woman said she wanted to tell Jones that their relationship was over, and for him to stop contacting her. She said it was a “mother and son” type of relationship whereas he classed himself a “caregiver”. Ms Edwards said the defendant told her he had a “hatred towards women” and “an odd fascination with (this woman’s) breasts.” He became emotional. Days later they met on a cycle track again. They kissed consensually and “she allowed him to breast feed for 10 minutes”. He told her he spoke to women of her age “as a way of getting back at his mother”, said the prosecutor. The woman later said she knew it was “strange behaviour” but it had been part of their relationship. On July 14, Jones rang the woman to say he was starving and asked her to come to his flat. But when she did he would not initially let her leave, the court heard. When she did leave, she left the area for a time to stay with a friend because she was afraid of what might happen next. On July 28 Jones told his probation worker about the “secret” meetings in “concealed” locations. The probation officer told the police. In a statement the 60-year-old woman said her health had worsened due to the stress of her ordeal. She said: “I know he’s obsessed with me. I know from experience that the obsession is dangerous.” Today Dafydd Roberts, defending, said Jones has a new focus because he has a girlfriend. Mr Roberts added: “While she talks about the harm she suffered her conduct suggests she was more prepared to have this contact than she admits.” She met him late at night in quiet locations. However, Mr Roberts said Jones does have “attachment problems”. “He knows he should not have been having contact with her but he could not stop himself,” said Mr Roberts. The judge Her Honour Nicola Jones noted that the woman was “very complicit” in what was going on. The judge told the defendant he had mental health and other problems but said he had breached the restraining order three times. She jailed him for three months for the breaches and activated 12 months from his suspended sentence, making a total of 15 months’ imprisonment. The restraining order not to contact his victim was extended for three years to end on June 5, 2030.
