A Man Has Been Sentenced To 20 Weeks In Prison After Admitting To The Racially Aggravated Assault Of A Former Member Of The Band Earth, Wind And Fire
In April, Hefin Parker, 25, of Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, assaulted Morris
Pleasure, better known as Mo, outside the town’s Royal Pier nightclub.
Mr Pleasure told Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court that he had been
“constantly frightened” since the attack.
Parker’s sentence of 20 weeks will run concurrently with another.
Parker was seen on CCTV assaulting Mr Pleasure with a “open-palm slap” and
making racist remarks about his skin colour.
Mr Pleasure had moved to Aberystwyth two years before and was waiting in
line to enter the nightclub when he was attacked.
In a victim impact statement read to the court, he expressed concern for
his and his family’s safety.
He stated he was “constantly on guard and apprehensive,” and that he was
“questioning the relocation to Aberystwyth.”
Parker apologised and expressed regret for his conduct.
In addition, he was forced to pay fees.
