Bad-tempered and aggressive Carl Brady caused a nasty argument while he and the woman were near a swimming pool at the sunshine resort - and he angrily assaulted her after they returned to their hotel room, Hull Crown Court heard.

Brady, 47, of Shannon Road, off Holderness Road, east Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted offences of assaulting the woman causing actual bodily harm, between August 7 and 17, 2022, and stalking her between April 1 and November 28 last year. He pleaded guilty on the day of a scheduled trial.

Oliver Shipley, prosecuting, said that Brady met the woman through a dating website in 2022 and she was flattered by his advances and thoughtful gestures but the relationship turned violent and he made nasty comments to her and played "mind games".

They were on holiday in Benidorm and an argument started while they were sitting around a swimming pool. They returned to their room to avoid causing a public scene. She followed him into the bathroom and he punched her to her jaw, saying that it was to shut her up. He pushed her in the chest and threw her against wardrobes, causing bruising.
