Domestic abuser leaves woman with broken jaw

A serial domestic abuser broke the jaw of his former partner just six weeks after being given early release from a jail term for a previous vicious attack.

William Adamson, from Kirkcaldy, launched a brutal attack after offering her accommodation after she had a night out with friends.

He knocked her down and repeatedly kicked her in the head, leaving her with a double fracture to the jaw which required extensive surgery.

Adamson, 33, a prisoner at Perth, admitted on June 5 in Leslie Street, Kirkcaldy, he assaulted Lisa Anne Templeton, his former partner, seized her by the body, struggled with her and repeatedly kicked her on the head, all to her severe injury.

Adamson had been jailed in June last year for a serious assault on the same woman.

Sheriff Charles Macnair sent him back to prison to serve nine months from his previous sentence and jailed him for 36 months for the latest assault, making a total of 45 months.

He told Adamson: “You were released from prison and it was just six weeks before you were carrying out this vicious and sustained attack on your former partner, who had also been the complainer in the previous case. I am told you are now showing remorse but you had previously told police she had fallen down the stairs and you fell on top of her.”

The sheriff said it was clear Adamson posed a “significant risk” of further offending and imposed a 12-month supervision order to start when he is released.
