Gary Goldsmith was charged with assaulting his wife
Back in 2017, Gary Goldsmith was in court, where he plead guilty, after he allegedly assaulted his wife, Julie-Ann after a night out. As per The Sun, the Westminster Police were called at 01:24 a.m. on October 13, 2017, after a report of a domestic incident.
According to reports, Gary and Julie-Ann were returning from a charity event when an argument broke out in a taxi. Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot, who sentenced Goldsmith, said:
Both had been drinking and the taxi driver listened as you argued. Your wife accused you of taking drugs and leaving her alone for most of the evening.
You called her a nothing and whore.
Gary had allegedly knocked his wife to the ground with a ‘left hook’ as per the taxi driver. Kate’s uncle was sentenced to a 12-month community order and was required to attend 20 rehabilitation sessions as he was called a ‘nasty drunk’ whilst in court.
