Jack Shepherd, who was previously jailed for killing Charlotte Brown, has admitted to violently assaulting a woman.
The 38-year-old pleaded guilty via prison video link at Isleworth Crown Court to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and damaging property. The offenses occurred in February and June of last year, leading to Shepherd's recall to prison.
Shepherd was originally sentenced to 10 years for the manslaughter of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown in 2018. Her death occurred when the speedboat he was piloting crashed during their first date. He had absconded to Georgia before his trial at the Old Bailey and was later extradited back to the UK to serve his sentence.
He was released on license in January 2024. Last September, he faced recall to prison after being accused of violence towards a woman.
During Tuesday's hearing, Shepherd admitted to pinning the woman down and punching her in February of the previous year. He also admitted to striking her on the chest with barbecue tongs and damaging her keys in June of the same year. Prosecutors agreed to drop additional charges related to controlling or coercive behavior and intentional suffocation.
